For now I am using "ScriptError".  I was using "SyntaxError", but I think that 
was just wrong.  Here are some places:

I have what I want to be pure virtual methods in a base class:

def myPureVirtualMethod
	raise ScriptError, "This should never be called.  Daughter Classes MUST 	define 
their own."
end

then there is

def validateThatThingMadeByPureVirtualMethodIsThere
	unless theThingMMadeByPureVirtualMethodIsThere?
		raise ScriptError, "That thingy isn't there."
	end
end
