Is it similarly as convoluted and difficult to have an explanation with,

com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException:

Which is correct of course, but not terribly elucidating (note the empty
trailing colon). Would this be a simple case of putting an RTL...string
in removeByName in docuno.cxx?

in a lot of UNO API implementations the only form of error reporting used is "throw RuntimeException;", which leaves (as you correctly note) a lot to be desired in terms of usability for the hapless API user.

this definitely ought to be an easy hack, as putting a more helpful error message in there can really be done by anyone: patches welcome.
