/**
 * A nestable biological error.
 *

 * Catch this whenever it, or one of it's sub-classes are thrown and you know
 * what to do once you've got it. Note: in general, you should not be catching
 * errors. However, there are cases where it is necisary e.g. for logging. You
 * will nearly always want to either re-throw the Error, throw a new Error
 * or exit the current thread.
 *
 * 
 * Throw this when something has gone wrong and in general people should not be
 * handeling it.
