The same could be said of the current behaviour:

> throw new PDOException($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e);

Since this contains both "throw" and "new", it's guaranteed a new stack 
trace in either convention.

So the question remains which is the *more likely* desired behaviour if 
you *don't* re-wrap it, and I honestly don't know the answer.
