The runtime can do one of two things: print exceptions according to a standard format and inject the msg field in the proper place or it can call toString. Which should be done? I prefer the former because it makes for a standard presentation and doesn't risk allocating memory needlessly, but I can see how people might do fancy stuff in toString that they expect to be used instead. This came up because I'm adding a default stack trace handler, and the current behavior prints the stack trace twice, so something needs to change.
