Exception heirarchies are nice and all, but sometimes you want exceptions to leak through, or be explicitly caught. In-fact, I've never encountered a case where this isn't what I want, maybe in a small 20 line example, but in large scripts I've almost always designed for leakage. I contend that what you want in this case is a Throwable interface or none at all. Java provides just this differentiation btw. -Sterling -- "Reductionists like to take things apart.
