I'm writing some code something like this:

class MyMidiThing
{
// static int stores midi channels to use
0 => static int nextChannel;

// instance variable stores midi channel for object
int channel;

fun init()
{
if (nextChannel > 15) {
// NO MORE MIDI CHANNELS!
// PANIC! EXPLODE! ... how?
}
nextChannel => channel;
nextChannel++;
// ... go on to do stuff ...
}
// ...

}

Clearly I want to do something when there are no more MIDI channels available that stops the program and prints error info, like a stack trace.

In general programming terminology, to throw an exception.

I've been scanning the documentation, and maybe I'm dense, but I can't find out how to do what I want here.

Suggestions?
