"An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems

Hmmm. I wonder what the definition of _reasonable_ is.
I read it as saying "reasonable programs do not catch Errors". It *is* a
definition.
You would think the javadoc should not have used that adjective. Unless
there are also _unreasonable_ programs; that should be written?
Weird.
There are certainly some unreasonable programs which should be written.
There are a great many unreasonable programs which have been written.
