I completely agree with what you and Alexy suggest. I've since refactored my
code accordingly so that an exception would not be thrown while inside of an
exception. But, that does not answer my original question. I asked about
submitting a feature request that would simply provide more information in
the unfortunate event that anybody's code inadvertantly throws an exception
while in an exception, and whether or not it would be advantageous to do so,
or if work was already being done on this very issue.

The current error provides no information at all (e.g., no file name or line
number of the offending exception), which in some cases makes it nearly
impossible to debug. My apologies if I was not clear enough in my first
e-mail. :)

probably what it was: something resembling white marble.
