Handler cloning is a technique for optimizing exception handling. For a specific exception handler catching and rethrowing multiple classes of exceptions, it creates a clone of the original handler and registers the clone as a handler that catches only a single class or subset of the classes for the original handler. The rethrown exceptions from the clone are determined at the compile time.
