Actually Raise_Exception isn't necessarily needed as I see now. If I use it
my exception looks like this:

   Exception name: LISTS.WORDGROUPS_LIST.OUT_OF_LIST_BOUNDARY
   Message: End of List already reached. No next Node exists.

but if I simply use raise:

   Exception name: LISTS.WORDGROUPS_LIST.OUT_OF_LIST_BOUNDARY
   Message: double_linked_list.adb:80 instantiated at lists.ads:6

but in other circumstances it makes sense as long as one do not use the
same message at all the places where the exception can be raised.
