If you are rethrowing exceptions inside the catch bloc:

for ($code = 0; $code < 2; $code++) {
    try {
        throw new Exception('Message '.$code, $code);
    }
    catch (\Exception $e) {
        if ($e->getCode() > 0) {
            throw $e;
        }
    }
}

Inside the catch bloc I check whether the Exception code is one that can
be handled at that place (code = 0), if not I rethrow the exception. If
the line property would refer to the place where the exception was
thrown I'd lose information in that case.
