    I tend to find the more-situation-specific Exceptions most useful from the 
developer point of view, as it can be handy to add breakpoints on specific 
types when debugging; if you want to break when the exception is thrown it can 
sometimes be a bother to set it on the more generic type, as it may get thrown 
in other places.  
    
    I agree there's no compelling reason to change the 
`IllegalArgumentException` here, however.  A separate discussion could be had 
about possible more useful base exceptions.  
`IllegalBrooklynConfigurationException`, anyone? :-)
