Description

A number of users of GSL asked for no-exception mode of GSL.

I've added support to GSL that compiles and runs with no exceptions and terminates where exceptions are supposed to be thrown otherwise, (i.e. gsl::narrow<>). Currently it has a workaround for an MS STL version around setting up termination handlers (calling abort by default).

Can we add guidelines for writing code with no exceptions, and what the termination behavior should be?
