And as Mariano pointed out, there should be a convention on the
naming: I am still not sure about suffixing the exception classes with
"Exception", but I guess this is a good thing to do. Though I must say
that I omitted it so far ;) and just put the verb there, but that can
be easily changed.

I would say no to suffixes. Analogous to announcements, they shouldn't
have the suffix. The name should be descriptive enough and intention
revealing that the suffix isn't needed in most cases. For example, I
think that

DividedByZero

is better than

DividedByZeroException

and no information is lost with the sorter name. Instead, DivideByZero
isn't clear enough to indicate that is a event that happened.

What do you think?

If this has been applied in the same sense before and its not a big deal I would prefer no suffixes as well.
