The question of what to name this exception aside, the lprint NOTICE
text is only a portion of the LLVM-exception text[3]. The lprint text
is awkward in that the first word of the exception is "Additionally"
but there's no prior exception text in the lprint NOTICE file for the
"Additionally" to refer to. I wonder whether the author might be
willing to avoid creating yet another custom exception type, by
including the entire LLVM-exception text in the lprint NOTICE file.
Ah, I completely missed that. I suppose it shows that the LLVM
exception is not really suitable as a general-purpose (not
compiler-specific) exception.
