I thought about that, but would prefer to throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException because that is really what is going on and I would prefer to throw the standard exception. Ideally, I would like to throw that with a message reporting the value and the length of the array. So, there are three choices: 0) throw AIOB with no message 1) subclass and throw with localized message - my suggestion above 2) OutOfRangeException I like 1) the best and since we have decided to deprecate the MathRuntimeException, note that it applies to all of the other standard exceptions generated by MathRuntimeException's createXxx methods that have not yet been subclassed. I think we should follow the generally accepted practice to favor standard exceptions, so that means we are going to have to create wrappers for all that we use. I am willing to help with this. In this case, I will go ahead and add the MathArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException that will be an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if others are OK with this. Note that doing this will allow us to handle situations where IAE is not appropriate (essentially why AIOB does not itself extend IAE).
