 Description   

Per our discussion on IRC/Twitter.

It would be nice if all exceptions thrown had a common base, so something like this is possible to catch all exceptions from Doctrine:

try {
    // some code here
} catch (\Doctrine\Common\BaseException $e) {
    // something in Doctrine threw an exception, handle it here
}

(The name is just an example.)

Instead of a base class (which forbids extending the SPL exception), I would go the same way than Symfony2 and ZF: using an interface.

That's basically what the PEAR2 RFC is doing.
