> If {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is provided a throwable whose cause method cannot be interrogated by reflection due to an IllegalAccessError, the cause is not presented to the client.
> In principle this is to be expected from this legacy method.  However, {{indexOfThrowable}} and {{indexOfType}} rely on {{getCause}}, and are not marked as deprecated.
> Now that {{Throwable.getCause}} has been in the language for quite some time, I'd like to propose that, until {{ExceptionUtils.getCause}} is actually removed, that its behavior be modified to first attempt to get the exception cause using normal invocation, falling back to reflection if no cause is found.
> I'll be pushing a GitHub PR to this effect.
