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
RUN-TIME and which LINKING 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.
