@implementation MaskedException
/*
This is a simple class that allows one to control the effects of raised
exceptions. Perhaps one of the best uses of this class is for debugging. If an 
exception occurs during debugging, the program aborts (unless the exception is 
caught), but in any case, the original context of the error is completely lost, 
making it difficult to trace the cause of the error. With MaskedException, you 
can cause the exception to abort the program in place, without jumping out of 
the context, so you can go back and look for at the frame that caused the 
error. You can set a mask for one exception or a whole class of excetions using 
MaskedExcetion.  The set of choices (masks) includes:

.LI .ital RaiseException	.plain Normal operation. Raise the exception as usual.
		
.LI .ital AbortException	.plain Abort, rather than raise the exception. Prints a message to stderr.
		
.LI .ital HandleException	.plain Sends a message to  a specific exception handler object.
		
.LI .ital LogException		.plain Log the exception (NSLog) and continue excecution. Dangerous!
		
.LI .ital IgnoreException	.plain Completely ignore the exception and continue excecution. Dangerous!

Note the last two choices, which allow one to completely ignore the exception 
and continue as if nothing happened. Normally, this is not very useful and 
would probably cause some kind of program crash, but it could be used in cases 
where an exception is meant to be a warning rather than an error. The third 
choice allows one to set a specific handler object to handle one or more 
exceptions. When the exception is raised, the message .bold 
exceptionWithName:reason:userInfo .plain is sent to the object (like the 
NSException method of the same name).
