A few yards short of the goal posts attempt at making our usage of
Throwable subclasses more consistent. This patch eliminates a lot of
ad hoc Exception/Error/etc. creation and various arbitrary choices are
rendered slightly less arbitrary. From now on let's try not to use the
word "Exception" or "Error" in the names of Throwable subclasses unless
they actually derive (and make sense to derive) from Exception or Error.
