there are ways to allocate them on the stack as well, or you can simply 
initialize a static exception.

scope Exception ex = new Exception("nothing");
try {
    throw ex;
} catch(Exception e)
{
    // print stack trace
}

Not sure, possibly printing the stack trace may be a problem as well. 
But it does seem like it should be doable.
