      From [~dholmes]:
      I have to wonder whether `new_exceptions`'s behaviour is what anyone would want! It could lead to some very strange exceptions being thrown - see for example `ConstantPool::throw_resolution_error` where it can throw a resolution error with the wrong cause!

      I expected new_exception to have a TRAPS in case the constructor call fails or an it gets an OOM allocating the exception, but that exception shouldn't be returned instead of the original exception.

      Need to write some tests for this.
