Henri Yandell closed LANG-585.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Fixed - Exception caught now instead of Throwable. That handles RuntimeException too.

> It's generally a bad idea to catch Throwable.
> The getFormattedExceptionMessage method should be changed to catch less; e.g. Exception + RuntimeException should be adequate.
> The Javadoc examples in ContextedException and ContextedRuntimeException suggest catching Throwable; these examples should be changed too.
