Description

In our application we initialize the CAS Client together with calling CAS_GracefullTerminationException::throwInsteadOfExiting() method and then we handle exceptions in our own fashion.

Right now the same exception CAS_GracefullTerminationException is used when the library ends its work and when there is a real error reported by a phpCAS::error() method.

I think it would be helpful for the integrators, to use a different exception for errors reported in the phpCAS::error() method.

Research direction

Start by tracing CAS_GracefullTerminationException::throwInsteadOfExiting() and the phpCAS::error() path mentioned in the issue. Done means errors from phpCAS::error() use a distinct exception while normal library termination continues to use CAS_GracefullTerminationException; the payload names no files or tests.
