What was wrong with simply making Halt a subclass of Exception instead
of Error?  People should basically never try to catch Exception, but
instead Error.  If they really do put Exception there, well, shouldn't
they get what they ask for?

For example, one reason to catch Exception would be to put in a custom
debugger.
