/**
 * Thrown by InstructionList.remove() when one or multiple disposed instructions
 * are still being referenced by an InstructionTargeter object. I.e. the
 * InstructionTargeter has to be notified that (one of) the InstructionHandle it
 * is referencing is being removed from the InstructionList and thus not valid anymore.
 *
 * Making this an exception instead of a return value forces the user to handle
 * these case explicitely in a try { ... } catch. The following code illustrates
 * how this may be done:
 *
 *  *     ...
 *     try {
 *         il.delete(start_ih, end_ih);
 *     } catch(TargetLostException e) {
 *         for (InstructionHandle target : e.getTargets()) {
 *             for (InstructionTargeter targeter : target.getTargeters()) {
 *                 targeter.updateTarget(target, new_target);
 *             }
 *         }
 *     }
