I was actually quite proud that I worked out the nasty corner cases during the
initial implementation. As far as I can tell, problems with chained exceptions
are not because of bugs and implementation issues, but because of problems with
the concept itself.
I think it's just a bit too clever.
Thanks for the explanation. When I decided to support Dwarf exceptions, I spent
a lot of time trying to match that behavior.
We've all invested lots of time in things that didn't pay off. We mustn't get
trapped by the sunk cost fallacy:

and I'm glad you're ok with that!
