seriousEvent

A event is serious if it calls for user intervention in the absence of resolution by some handler. All serious events should inherit from seriousEvent.

(All errors are serious events. Events such as "stack overflow" are serious events, although they are not errors.)

Note: Actual user intervention is triggered not by the event type, but rather by choice of signaling function: error will invoke the debugger if the signaled event is not handled, and signal will not. You are expected to use error when the event is a descendant of seriousEvent, and signal otherwise.
