> Thrift implemented dart output ~3 years ago and in doing so outputs
> exceptions in classes that extend Error[1]. At the time this commit[2] was
> done this was acceptable. However, a year or so after this commit Effective
> Dart introduced a rule that you "DON'T" catch Errors or anything that
> implements them[3]. However, Dart SDK had for the Error type ~5 years ago
> that they should not be used for expect or catch[4].
> As such this ticket requests that the generator for dart code should have
> exception types implement Exception rather than extending Error. Although
> Error and Exception are used pretty interchangeably in terms of throwing,
> they do differ for the expect/catch and as such would warrant being included
> in a major version change.
