/**
 * Handy class for wrapping runtime <code>Exceptions</code> with a root cause.
 *
 * <p>This class is <code>abstract</code> to force the programmer to extend
 * the class. <code>getMessage</code> will include nested exception
 * information; <code>printStackTrace</code> and other like methods will
 * delegate to the wrapped exception, if any.
 *
 * <p>The similarity between this class and the {@link NestedCheckedException}
 * class is unavoidable, as Java forces these two classes to have different
 * superclasses (ah, the inflexibility of concrete inheritance!).
