/**
 * Type of {@link RuntimeException} which does not generate a stack at it's point of creation.  
 * Generating a stack trace in java is very expensive, and does not always further the understanding 
 * of the type of error (particularly when the exception is wrapping another exception, or is a 
 * communication of state).  In those select conditions using or extending this type of exception 
 * can provide a significant performance gain.
