    Note:
        The instance based Signal framework is being replaced by
        class based exceptions.
        I.e. what used to be instances of Signal/QuerySignal is beeing
        rewritten into subclasses of Exception/Error/Query and Warning.
        Although the functionality is basically unchanged, the new
        class based exceptions are easier to instanciate (no need for
        creation in a classes initialize method), easier to use (no real
        need for SIgnal-constant accessors) and allow for easier parameter
        passing (not only a single parameter, but allows for individual
        exception subclasses to add additional state).

    GenericException and its subclasses implement the same protocol as Signal.
    So class based exceptions may be implemented as subclasses of GenericException.

    Normally all exceptions are subclasses of Exception. Exceptions, that are
    used for debugging or that are signalling errors in the exception system itself
    are direct subclasses of GenericException.

    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          - don't 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

        returnWith:val  - same, but return val from Signal>>handle:do:
                          (this is also the handlers default,
                           if it falls through; taking the handlerBlocks value
                           as return 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 messageText 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)

        messageText      <String>     an messageText
                                      (usually the signals own messageText, 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)

    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.
    For example, to get the typical C++ behavior, use:
        Exception emergencyHandler:[:ex | Smalltalk exitWithCoreDump]


    Raising:
        two different raising messages are to be used,
        depending on whether the exception is proceedable or not

        For some stupid reason, someone decided that the raise-code checks if
        the raising messages matches to what the signal thinks is its proceedability.
        (i.e. not only do both the sender and the signal itself specify proceedability,
         this is checked by the raise code and a warning is generated if there is a mismatch)
        This used to be even worse (WrongProceedabilityError), but we relaxed this to
        a message sent to stderr.

        That means, that PROCEEDABLE signals must be raised with:
            raiseRequest
        and NON-PROCEEDABLE signals must be raised with:
            raise

        If you dont know/care as a raiser, you can use
            raiseSignal
        which checks for proceedability and sends the appropriate message.
        (sigh)

    all of the 3 messages above come in various flavours:
        raiseXXX                - do not pass any additional parameter;
                                  default messageText

        raiseXXXWith:           - pass additional parameter;
                                  default messageText

        raiseXXXErrorString:    - do not pass any additional parameter;
                                  given errorString

        raiseXXXWith:errorString:
                                - pass any additional parameter;
                                  AND given errorString

examples

    Examples on Exception-raising & handling are found in the doc/coding
    section (CodingExamples).

    The emergencyHandler stuff is very useful, to prevent endUser applications
    from entering the debugger. See the examples in NoHandlerError.
