But that does not take away the need for the base CheckpointException to be able aggregate exceptions from Resources, so CheckpointException and Combined are mostly overlaping. Moreover, so we'll need to be able to re-aggregate exceptions of two types. In the current form, Combined and CheckpointException are both fine to be thrown from a user context, and there is no guadance which one to use.
Let's keep it simple and use CheckpointException for aggregations as it was supposed to be. The message constructor should be removed, and every constructor-with-the-message call should be replaced with an exception of different type. Especially since we have examples for this [1].
