So, what exactly about that makes it a problem that the file and line number have 
default arguments? If it gives the arguments (like it pretty much has to be 
doing), then it doesn't use the defaults, so they don't cause any problems 
there. And is it only file and line number which cause problems if they have 
defaults, or is it everything (e.g. Throwable next)? And does this to apply to 
all Throwables?
