  * Do not use string exceptions
  String exceptions are deprecated and will soon no longer be supported at all.
  
  Most of the instances of string exceptions in our code were not meant to be
  catched, but just to get meaningful backtraces.
  
  This patch replaces them with appropriate, usually generic, exceptions that
  serve the same purpose.
