This can be implemented by forcing a "base class", using an "interface" or a language construct. IMHO, as you said, using an interface and letting the built-in class implement it is the best approach. But only instances of classes wich implement this interface should be throw or caught(language enforcement). With this enforcement, we can have a "catch all" for exceptions with less pain.
