How is the exception supposed to know where the error occurred? It
could have been anything - bad return code, incorrect data, whatever.
But in all cases, it's something you had to detect. This might have
been many lines of code before you actually threw the exception, or even
in a different (included) file.

All the exception can tell is where you threw it.
