    020/**
    021 * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking
    022 * exception (or both) during execution.  This is not quite the truth
    023 * as such; because all instructions may throw an
    024 * java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
    025 *
    026 * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which
    027 * <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
    028 * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers.  Due
    029 * to the structure of the JVM specification, it may be possible that
    030 * an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of
    031 * size 0.
    032 *
    033 * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any
    034 * "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used for "Exception"
    035 * and "Error" objects.
