It may be resolved as a side effect of #243. There is two issues that were
addressed. First, they were some codes like below:
```java
try {
...
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new IOException("Cannot delete " + file, e);
}
```
The problem is that the exception subtype (`AccessDeniedException`,
`DirectoryNotEmptyException`, _etc._) become hidden behind the cause of the
`IOException`, making it less easy to see. The message _"Cannot delete file"_
does not really bring value as the original exception usually already had the
file name.
A second issue is that some parts of the code continued its operation
despite the exception, causing another exception of different kind later. For
example, if a file was read-only, Java throws `AccessDeniedException`. But the
code was continuing despite that exception, and throwing
`DirectoryNotEmptyException` later when it tried to delete the directory
containing the read-only file. The exception reported to the user was
`DirectoryNotEmptyException`. The `AccessDeniedException` was available as a
cause or suppressed exception, but it was not obvious to the user that it was
the root cause.
#243 no longer wraps the exceptions. The `IOException` that the user get is
the root cause. In above example with a read-only file, the user gets the
`AccessDeniedException`, there is no longer a `DirectoryNotEmptyException`.
This change can be seen in a change in the JUnit tests.
