/**
 * Every "Exception" (or subclass) object contains a "stackTrace", or
 * traceback, meant to indicate where the error occurred.
 *
 * Let's find out where a stackTrace comes from, and how to use it, when
 * exceptions are created and thrown. Some textbooks claim that it is
 * the operation of constructing the exception that anchors its trace,
 * others the throwing. Let us see for ourselves.
