Hi Richard, Here are some minutes from a previous review mentioning a potential long term solution for non-listed exceptions:

Hi Richard, Thanks for this -- all good points and I agree, in the example you gave I'd represent it in the way you described. As an FYI, regarding custom exceptions (and agreed that the example you
