+ * <p>As of release 1.4, this exception has been retrofitted to conform to
+ * the general purpose exception-chaining mechanism.  The "saved throwable
+ * object" that may be provided at construction time and accessed via
+ * the {@link #getException()} method is now known as the <i>cause</i>,
+ * and may be accessed via the {@link Throwable#getCause()} method, as well
+ * as the aforementioned "legacy method."
