Our definition of ListException is derived from exception. Some compilers do
not provide a constructor for exception that has a string argument. In such cases,
you can replace exception with another class derived from exception that does
provide a constructor with a string argument. For example, you could use runtime_error
or logic_error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some compilers insist that a function definition contain a "throw" clause if the
