I don't think this makes sense. To effectively use whatever's in the table I pretty much have to know what error I'm handling, and this isn't possible if type information is lost. Unless this determination is moved to a run-time check of some field within the exception, and then I'm making my code that much messier and less efficient by putting in tests of this identifier against a list of constants. Personally, I don't see any use for this table beyond providing context, much like we already have with file, line, etc.
