I think this limitation is quite reasonable, given the intended use, which
is simply to pass a short identifying message along. It is of course trivial
to eliminate this limitation in an implementation, but only at the expense
of implicit heap use, which is generally undesirable.
(especially if the exception in question is Storage_Error!)
