== Why is this an issue?
In applications where the accepted practice is to log an ``++Exception++`` and then rethrow it, you end up with miles-long logs that contain multiple instances of the same exception. In multi-threaded applications debugging this type of log can be particularly hellish because messages from other threads will be interwoven with the repetitions of the logged-and-thrown ``++Exception++``. Instead, exceptions should be either logged or rethrown, not both.
