It appears that if you soften any exception in a scope, it actually softens 
ALL of them! Try this code:

import java.sql.SQLException;

public class Bad {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
	throw new Exception("should be a compiler error here");
    }
}

aspect ExcPolicy {
    declare soft: SQLException: execution(* Bad.*(..));
}

The compiler accepts this code when it should have a runtime error in 
compiling main... At a minimum, the declare soft implementation is softening 
more than it should be.
