No.

gdb.h declares a few wrappers that follow a different exception
convention from the rest of gdb.  However, there aren't enough of these
wrappers to actually interface any client program with the rest of gdb;
clients in practice will have to use the other exception handling
mechanism.  So, at present this stuff serves to obfuscate more than
help.  Also, I don't think anybody is going to, or should, work on
extending this interface.

So, removing this is a cleanup.  It helps make gdb more regular.
