At what point do you need to print exceptions in runtime? Is that if an 
exception leaves main()?

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.
