Sebb reopened LANG-744:
-----------------------


Why do we care which Exceptions can be generated?

We take the same action in each case, so I don't see the point of enumerating 
the Exceptions, unless there is different action to be taken for some of them.

But even then, we would probably need a catchall Exception.
