My thinking is different: Throw exceptions if you can't accomplish a 
task. My code is filled with enforce() and assert() checks, which do 
throw exceptions.

In most cases, catching Exception (not Error) to print exc.msg is fine 
and is the correct thing to do. (Errors are not caught, the stack trace 
is printed, and that's helpful.)

Occasionally, exc.msg of an Exception doesn't give enough information. 
So, printing exc (not exc.msg) temporarily to look at the stack trace is 
helpful.
