I guess it would be the only option in this case as far as the
introduction of child (server) exceptions is concerned, I'm however
becoming 'fond' of your original idea of the app developer being able to
'throw new BadClientRequestException()'. I think if we can not reuse
such exception then at this stage we should punt on all the child
exceptions and simply refactor a bit the current client-side hierarchy
as was suggested originally and review the idea in post 2.0
