 * All packages should have their own base exception type extending this one, and for each package
 * level a CTOR taking a message should pass the message to the super.
 * A CTOR not taking a message and calling the super without a parameter may also be provided.
 *
 * The static string symbol
 * should be overriden as below so that it ends up as something like "mde.file" or
 * "mde.pkg.file.Class" describing where the exception was thrown. (Since only methods overload
 * correctly, symbol is made static and an overloadable method is used to access the correct symbol.)
