How about exceptions should be raised only in _EXCEPTIONAL_
situations? Reaching the end-of-file or trying to POP off an
empty stack are NOT exceptional conditions.
I would go so far as to say an exception should never be raised after
a system has been delivered. Don't get me wrong, I love Ada exception
handling... Exception Handling made my last large integration go much
smoother than I expected.
Any comments??
