Hi.
There are a bunch of calls to Util.runtimeException("msgHere") which can be
replaced with Util.runtimeException("msgHere", e); where e is the exception
just caught (aka the cause), for example here:
https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Compiler.java#L4570and here's a case where this particular thing would've maybe been more useful: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/MIKccMX9gvk/ULv4AjqdNQEJ but granted that isn't much more helpful in this particular case, but I see no reason why to not include the cause exception like that.
