    019/**
    020 * Denote an instruction that may throw a run-time or a linking exception (or both) during execution. This is not quite
    021 * the truth as such; because all instructions may throw an java.lang.VirtualMachineError. These exceptions are omitted.
    022 *
    023 * The Lava Language Specification specifies exactly which <i>RUN-TIME</i> and which <i>LINKING</i> exceptions each
    024 * instruction may throw which is reflected by the implementers. Due to the structure of the JVM specification, it may
    025 * be possible that an Instruction implementing this interface returns a Class[] of size 0.
    026 *
    027 * Please note that we speak of an "exception" here when we mean any "Throwable" object; so this term is equally used
    028 * for "Exception" and "Error" objects.
