Can you bring this to nio-dev to discuss? Most of the exceptions that 
JSR-51 defined in that package are very specific. In this case, 
ClosedChannelException just means the channel is closed. Its subclasses 
AsynchronousCloseException and ClosedByInterruptException are for the 
more specific cases. Adding new constructors with messages/causes to 
support other usages might be okay but it shouldn't be done in isolation 
without creating an inconsistency in that package so it would have to 
looked at in the whole.
