If you look at Throwable.toString(), you'll see that it uses
Throwable.getLocalizedMessage() which allows for localized exception
messages, so I would avoid using getMessage() directly.
I'd also be interested in helping out making the Throwable and
Exception types provide the 4 consistent constructors if there are
committers that would help guide us.
