Eradicate exceptions without argument #610

One of the first lessons I teach my students is to read the error messages. Once they get used to it, it actually works reasonably well. But only for those errors that do actually print anything useful. Many of our messages do that, but we have ~250 exceptions declared with DeclException0 that, in essence, only print the name of the exception but nothing else. I think the original idea was that the name of the exception is a giveaway, but I find now that that was a failed hope.

In other words, we need to get rid of this!
