Developers could add statements (using these new methods/keywords) in their
code testing abnormal situations (like methods arguments violating
implicit "method definition contract"); when these abnormal situations are
raised the system should throw an exception, interrupting the program offering
the developer a traceback with possibility of either continue or abort. If the
internal JavaSoft classes use such a mechanism , the trace could be a full
trace. (JavaSoft bug number 4071460)
