  Mhmm. I don't see your point. This information _is_ 
  available in the exception's ctor. You say things 
  would be a lot better if it was available in the 
  catch handler. Where's the difference? 

  Or is it that you're concerned about exception types 
  you have no control over? (I rarely had a problem 
  with this.)
