    Gotcha. Are there any guidelines on this? I imagine throwing
    CayenneException is preferred, but given that it's a checked exception,
    that could mean rewriting interfaces. I'm a fan of throwing unchecked
    exceptions if we can't do anything about the problem anyway.

    Also, should we be adding tests to check the exceptions are actually
    thrown and pair them up with fail() calls? Or, has the approach been to
    just introduce the exception and just make sure the existing test suite
    passes?
