+Generic error hierarchy
+Leap/EIP exceptions used for exception handling,
+logging, and notifying user of errors
+during leap operation.
+
+Exception hierarchy
+-------------------
+All EIP Errors must inherit from EIPClientError (note: move that to
+a more generic LEAPClientBaseError).
+
+Exception attributes and their meaning/uses
+-------------------------------------------
+
+* critical:    if True, will abort execution prematurely,
+               after attempting any cleaning
+               action.
+
+* failfirst:   breaks any error_check loop that is examining
+               the error queue.
+
+* message:     the message that will be used in the __repr__ of the exception.
+
+* usermessage: the message that will be passed to user in ErrorDialogs
+               in Qt-land.
+
+TODO:
+
+* EIPClientError:
+  Should inherit from LeapException
+  and move basic attrs there
+
+* gettext / i18n for user messages.
+
