I don't think _name() is part of the standard. SystemException's have a 
_orbitcpp_get_repoid() which unsuprisingly returns the repoid string of 
the exception. I might try and move that down Exception and maybe change 
the name. Alternatively, you can use C++ RTTI to try and get an idea 
about which exception is being caught. For example:

catch (CORBA::Exception& x) {
   std::cerr << typeid(x).name() << '\n';
}
