I take exception (!) to this notion. As a computer user (not
a programmer) what would one think about error messages from an
application that printed file and line of something internal to the
app's source code? WTF, right? FileException is being
confused here with being a programmer debugging tool. It is NOT.
Exceptions are not for debugging programming errors. They're for
reporting on input errors. They're being confused with asserts here.
