Description

Although Exceptions (or any Throwables actually) can be serialized acceptably, they can not yet be deserialized (immediate problem is with "cause" propery, there is "getCause" but no "setCause"; that's "initCause").

Hmmh. Ok, so I got "initCause" added as a setter. But now the problem is "message" – there is no "setMessage" (exceptions are no beans all right). So I will need to find a constructor... tricky.
There is another Jira entry for adding ability to auto-detect constructors, but that wouldn't help here since it'll need annotation support.
But for now a simple heuristic just might work: most exception classes do have single-string-arg constructor for passing in message. So let's assume that for now...

Added basic support. Works to the degree current deserialization system can, without actual class information (for which another issue was added).
