/**
* Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking
* exception (or both) during execution. This is not quite the truth
* as such; because all instructions may throw an
* java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
*
* The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which
* <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
* instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers. Due
* to the structure of the JVM specification, it may be possible that
* an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of
* size 0.
*
* Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any
* "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used for "Exception"
* and "Error" objects.
