I know it's very OO-y to use exceptions, but I hate them. They're like
setjmp/longjmp calls in C, and they're a really headache to deal with.
If you don't use default or predone handlers, you have to put all kinds
of try/catch blocks around everything. They make for non-linear
execution, and I prefer my code to execute in a linear fashion.
