You could roll your own Exception type with similar semantics.

Not at all - it is against the GPL to distribute non GPL code together
with GPL code.

You can't use a different license than GPL if you use GPLed code - you
can do what you want with code that uses code licensed under the
Apache Software License, as long as you acknowledge the ASF if you
distribute it the Apache code.
