For me, the best way to understand the Exception class was to browse it,
browse references to it, and also to the subclasses, especially with something
like Seaside loaded that makes interesting uses of Exceptions to deal with
continuations.  Seeing how it works in practice made it finally go click.

There's no education like source code. :)
