 There are a series of exceptions thrown in MapGuide that could be easily
 improved in terms of clarity. For example:

  * MgNullArgumentException - Should include the identifier that failed the
 null pointer check
  * MgNullReferenceException - Should include the identifier that failed
 the null reference check

 Most of these exceptions are thrown by pre-defined macros like
 CHECKARGUMENTNULL(), etc. So a simple modification to these macros where
 applicable to include the stringified argument being checked will result
 in clearer error messages being included.
