Exception Object

`loop.object.Exception`

Class of objects used to store structured error information that may be captured and processed by an application or used to produce human-readable error messages. This class is useful to implement expection handling mechanisms.

Each instance may have various fields that describe an error in a structured way so it can be easily processed by an application without the need to parse textual information. Additionally, these instances may be converted or concatenated to string in order to produce textual descriptions of the errors.
