Thanks Kirinn for making this new wiki page.  I just added a single line 
at the bottom for "Further reading".

When you add a component to your program, are you made aware about all 
of the exceptions that might be raised by the component?  When writing 
control software this can be *very* important.

There is a little more to the old story here (maybe should be added to 
the wiki page):
