Add a way to simply raise an exception message

[flbulgarelli]

When teaching about exceptions, I want to avoid talking about exception classes and exception objects head-first, at least until the bubbling mechanism has being understood.

I'd like to have a language feature, or simply a method in object that allows you to raise an Exception given a message, similar to what assert.fail does. For example:

raise("not enough energy!")

Yes, there is a method in Object class for that.

https://github.com/uqbar-project/wollok/blob/master/org.uqbar.project.wollok.lib/src/wollok.wlk

method error(message) { throw new Exception(message) }

Nice. Closing

Hm, wait.

It is not behaving exactly as expected. I will open a different ticket for it
