Make all exception thrown by Laravel extend and/or implement from a Laravel specific class or interface

[nagmat84]

At the moment Laravel and Eloquent throw exceptions which are direct instances of PHP standard exceptions, i.e. mostly \InvalidArgument, \LogicException and so on.

When these exceptions propagate the call stack, it is difficult to specifically catch all exception which have been thrown by Laravel or Eloquent at a higher level of the stack. It would be really nice, if Laravel had its own root exception, an interface or both. For example, one could use an interface \Illuminate\Contracts\LaravalException and still use specific exceptions which extend the PHP standard exceptions if one would like, i.e. something like \Illuminate\Exceptions\InvalidArgument extends \invalidArgument implements \Illuminate\Contracts\LaravalException.

Using custom exception classes is also considered good practice.

As a work around, I usually implement my own, tailored exception like MyLaravelException and then wrap each and every single call of Laravel into an independent try-catch-clause in order to be able to properly track exceptions on higher levels of the stack. This means I write something like

try {
  $models = MyModel::query()->where(....)->orderBy(...)->get();
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
  throw new MyLaravelException($e);
}

This is extremely tedious and make my code clumsy.
