I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the SPARK subset
disallowed exceptions entirely because they are too difficult to
analyze. If so, the only exceptions that might occur in a SPARK program
are the predefined ones; and as I understand it the SPARK tool set gives
you a way to prove, under certain circumstances, that even those will
not occur.

Not being a heavy SPARK user, however, I could be off base here.
