Well, I meant that we dont have so much freedom when
defining useful exceptional behavior. For example, here
is an arbitrary - and useless - exception behavior :

function Factorial(N : Integer); begin   case N of     0: Result := 1;     1: raise EFactorial.Create(1);     2: Result := 2;     3: raise EFactorial.Create(6);     4: Result := 24;     5: Result := 120;     6: raise EFactorial.Create(720);     ...   else     raise EFactorialOutOfRange.Create(N);   end; end;

Sure. Not much freedom is still much enough to generate
clashes.
