Here, here, etc.  I once worked with the Telesoft (?) compiler on an Eclipse
that had a package allowing you to find out what the current exception was.
It helped out immensely during debugging:

    ...
    exception
       when others =>
	   text_io.put_line ("Opps! exception " & CURRENT_EXCEPTION'IMAGE &
			      " in procedure XXX.");
	   raise;
    end XXX;

Unfortunately, I now use VAX Ada and Alsys, so I can't do this.

Progress means replacing something wrong with something more subtly wrong.
