I think these where like predefined 'shortcuts' for most common
exceptions/errors. You can declare exceptions for any oracle error number
smth. like PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(rollback_too_small, -1555)

Sorry, if the following doesn't make sense, I started exploring just a week ago...

From reading the docs I could't determine what would be the exception to
catch in the outer block for e.g. RAISE NOTICE 'caught division_by_zero';
and how to raise the same exeption again, for example
if I determine that the exception still cannot be handled correcly
in WHEN OTHERS section. Does RAISE raise the same exception or
can I specify the type somehow?
