Suspected initial cause:
IO code that throws Exception and unwillingness to catch, wrap and re-throw
Relevant anecdote:
Velocity has been around longer than "Effective Java" and is still
doing b.c. 1.x releases
Current holdup:
no one has been bothered enough to offer a patch to fix it yet
Possible fixes:
a patch from you? a 2.x version? enough nagging from you and
others to get one of us committers to change it? :)
