Update: Since M11 (0.11.*), you can use secondary constructors to solve this problem:
class PhotoLibException : RuntimeException {
constructor(message: String, ex: Exception?): super(message, ex) {}
constructor(message: String): super(message) {}
constructor(ex: Exception): super(ex) {}
}
Currently, there’s no way to call different super-constructors in different context from the same class. It will be supported in the upcoming months, though.
