    Instances of Exception are passed to a Signal handling block as argument.

    The handler block may perform various actions by sending corresponding messages

    to the exception object. The following actions are possible:

	reject          - dont handle this signal;

			  another handler will be searched for, 

			  upper in the calling hierarchy

	proceed         - return from the Signal>>raise, with nil as value

	proceedWith:val - same, but return val from Signal>>raise

	return          - return from the Signal>>handle:do:, with nil as value

	restart         - restart the Signal>>handle:do:, after repairing

    Via the Exception object, the handler can also query the state of execution:

    where the Signal was raised, where the handler is, the signal which caused

    the error and the errorString passed when the signal was raised. Also, an optional

    parameter can be passed - the use is signal specific.:

    instance variables:

	signal           <Signal>     the signal which caused the exception

	parameter        <Object>     a parameter (if any) which was passed when raising

				      the signal (only if raised with #raiseWith:aParameter)

	errorString      <String>     an errorString 

				      (usually the signals own errorString, but sometimes

				       changed explicitely in #raiseWith:errorString:)

	suspendedContext <Context>    the context in which the raise occured

	handlerContext   <Context>    the context of the handler (if any)

	resumeBlock      <Block>      private to the exception; needed to perform resume action

	rejectBlock      <Block>      private to the exception; needed to perform reject action

    In case of an unhandled signal raise, Exceptions EmergenyHandler will be evaluated. 

    The default emergeny handler will enter the debugger.

    For applications, which do not want Debuggers to come up, other handlers are

    possible.

	Exception emergencyHandler:[:ex | Smalltalk exitWithCoreDump]

    Class variables:

	EmergencyHandler <Block>    this block is evaluated, if no handler was defined

				    for a signal (i.e. this one is responsible for the

				    unhandled exception debugger).

				    Having this being a block allows to globally catch

				    these errors - even when no enclosing handler-scope

				    around the erronous code exists.

				    (as the catch/through does).

	RecursiveExceptionSignal

			 <Signal>   raised when within a handler for some signal,

				    th same signal is raised again.
