I definitely support this proposal -- there's lots of code
where I'm using BioErrors, and RuntimeExceptions would be
a more sensible thing to throw.

When this has been discussed publically in the past, there
have been very few responses, either positive or negative.
It does seem to meet a real requirement.  Unless someone speaks
out loudly this time, let's plan on adding it next week.
