"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I'd rather have less room for error than succinct code. Java is verbose by design anyway. I want the compiler to stop me from possibly doing something silly. If I really want to assign to the exception var, then I can remove the final. "Diff'rent strokes for diff'renr folks". More quotes!
