Seconded. Reflection seems a much better solution for this.
Absolutely.
The i18n table would map (exception type) -> (language, format string)
and the i18n formatter would use reflection to map field values to the
format string.
a format string would be e.g. "File {filename} not found" and the
formatter would replace {filename} with e.class.getField("filename").
This does not require any modifications to the exception mechanism.
Yah, but the reflection engine would have to present RTTI in a uniform
manner... such as, Variant[string]. Bane of my life: I'm always right
:o).

Unfortunately you aren't :)
Esprit d'escalier! "Bane of my life: nobody admits I'm always right."
Damn I wish I'd come up with that a minute ago before submitting.
