I wrote a small command line program that would crash if a keyboard interrupt was used to close it. I fixed the crash by catching the keyboard interrupt exception...but I couldn't do anything with it. The keyboard interrupt closes the program. Catching the interrupt only stopped the crash message from appearing. So my code basically looked like this.

Wrap it in a RuntimeException and the compiler will be happy to.

That formatting, on the other hand, is not going away
