I'm a strong believer in "what hasn't to be in core should not be" and
these exceptions can easily be implemented in PHP. They have to be in C
when internal things should throw those.
True, doing this in PHP outside the core won't make those available
everywhere, but I believe that doing this in userland allows to simplify
adoption to changing needs in longterm and tools like Composer make it
possible to distribute even such small libraries in a good way with way
less trouble than a few years back.
