Remove the warning about using erlang:raise/3
There is no good reason to say that erlang:raise/3 is only for debugging. Here is an example where it can be extremely useful: try do_something(Args) catch Class:Error -> Stack = erlang:get_stacktrace(), io:format("Args: ~p\n", [Args]), erlang:raise(Class, Error, Stack) That is, we can let it crash, but log additional useful information before crashing.
