If all exception objects must be instances of classes derived from exception or that class itself..well..why then specify exception.
That's why proposed the following a *long* time ago:
* Introduce
interface Throwable {}
as built-in interface.
* Allow only classes implementing the Throwable interface to be throw()n.
* Provide the current Exception class (implementing avove interface) as a standard exception class.
