+1 on this issue. I use VFS on a couple projects and this is always a bit burdensome, and on several occasions have indeed caught and rethrew RuntimeExceptions. Even if we can't/shouldn't soften them, what about typing them to be more specific? Having every method throwing a FileSystemException isn't always the most helpful =)
