/**
 * Thrown by InstructionList.remove() when one or multiple disposed instructions are still being referenced by an
 * InstructionTargeter object. I.e. the InstructionTargeter has to be notified that (one of) the InstructionHandle it is
 * referencing is being removed from the InstructionList and thus not valid anymore.
 *
 * <p>
 * Making this an exception instead of a return value forces the user to handle these case explicitly in a try { ... }
 * catch. The following code illustrates how this may be done:
 * </p>

 * <PRE>
 *     ...
 *     try {
 *         il.delete(start_ih, end_ih);
 *     } catch(TargetLostException e) {

 *             for (InstructionTargeter targeter : target.getTargeters()) {
 *                 targeter.updateTarget(target, new_target);
 *             }
