Not that I know. Maybe $implicitexceptions  off where the class is 
declared, but I doubt it.

Even then it would not work for already compiled units (including the 
system ones like TObject.Create)

It is part of the language, people have lived with it over 20 years. If 
it bothers you, help making exceptions cheaper (table based exceptions/seh)
