 * @section Exception_HowTo Exception HOWTO
 *
 * @subsection Exception_HowTo_U User's guide (exception handlers)
 *
 * - For standard (no "code" support), just use intuitively. For
 * example, <em>UI::Exception</em> catches any S+P Exception,
 * <em>UI::Util::Exception</em> any S+P exception in namespace UI::Util,
 * <em>UI::Util::File::Exception</em> any exception of class UI::Util::File.
 *
 * - Any time you want to catch <em>code exceptions</em>, you will
 * always need a dedicated handler (knowing the code semantics)
 * anyway. For example, knowing <em>UI::Util::File::Exception</em> is
 * a code exception, catch exactly that exception and evaluate further
 * using getCode().
 *
 * @subsection Exception_HowTo_D Developer's guide (write own exception classes)
 *
 * @subsubsection Exception_HowTo_D_P Preliminaries
 *
 * - In any context (namespace or class), a class "Exception" should
 * be available, using UI::Exception or UI::CodeException constructor
 * syntax; this is needed so UI_THROW* macros can be used.
 *
 * - Note that the "interfacing" exception class is always called
 * "Exception", even if it is a code exception. The
 * <em>CodeException</em> template is only used to ease writing
 * classes w/ dedicated code number support.
 *
 * - Be sure that your exception class always inherits the next class
 * "context up". For example UI::Util::Sys::Exception must inherit
 * from UI::Util::Exception, <b>not</b> UI::Exception; else a handler
 * on UI::Util::Exception would not catch UI::Util::Sys::Exception,
 * which is against intuitive use of exceptions. The same holds true
 * for mere typedefs.
 *
 * @subsubsection Exception_HowTo_D_E Quickstart
 *
 * Let's say, you invented a new namespace "UI::Humbug".
 *
 * - In the simplest case, if you don't need support to catch down all
 * UI::Humbug's exceptions, you may just use UI_THROW*-macros w/o any
 * additional code.
 *
 * - Alternatively, if UI::Humbug needs a generic exception class so
 * we can catch it all down, just use the very same source code for
 * UI::Util::Exception in your new namespace.
 *
 * - Optionally, if you want to ease the use of code exceptions in
 * your namespace for sub-contexts, just use the very code for
 * the UI::Util::CodeException template in your namespace.
 *
 * - Alernatively, if your new namespace's generic exception class is
 * to be a code exception itself, inherit UI::Humbug::Exception from
 * UI::CodeException<HumbugCode>.
 *
 * The above three points typically go into "Exception.hpp" of your project.
 *
 * - Optionally, you can now add exception classes for sub-contexts
 * (sub-namespaces or classes) if needed.
 *
 * - To throw exceptions, always use macros UI_THROW, UI_THROW_CODE,
 * UI_THROW_ERRNO or UI_THROW_CODE_ERRNO.
