Default Error Handler

On page 272 line 18 it says:
By default the predefined error handler for file handles is MPI_ERRORS_RETURN.

Shouldn't we specifically say how errors are returned? e.g.

In Fortran errors are returned in IERROR. In C errors are returned as the
int return value. In C++ ???

C++ is the puzzle to me. I seem to remember in the email something about
C++ not returning errors, but always using the error handler. This sounds
like a dead end unless users are required to supply an error handler for
C++ or it has a different default. It sounds like an advice to users is
needed. Have I missed something here?
