Throwable now has a Throwable(Throwable cause) and a Throwable(String
message,Throwable cause) constructor, which is wonderful. Exception,
RuntimeException and Error let me access that constructor, but few other
subclasses do. Please propogate the Throwable cause argument wherever you can
throughout the standard libraries. I'd like to use it immediately in
IOException, SQLException, and the EJB family of exceptions. Looks like it
already made it into RemoteException, which is great.

You'll probably have to pass the buck to other groups to get them to add this
api to their exceptions. However, they want to do it more than you think.
