The second handler never matches because StdioException is a subclass of
Exception, so the first handler will always match whatever the second
matches.
Should that be a compile-time error? I think so.

Alternate thought.. should order matter or should it automatically sort
such that most specific catch is preferred. Sort of matches the
declaration order doesn't (ok, shouldn't) matter philosophy.
Use first match:
+ Consistent with "else if"
+ needs no work
