Summary: A new macro for gdcmException.h?

Initial Comment:
The default arguments of the explicit constructor of gdcm::Exception,  __FILE__ and __LINE__, aren't very useful, because they always point to the class definition of gdcm::Exception itself, in gdcmException.h. It would be more useful if __FILE__ and __LINE__ would be specified at the source code locations where the gdcm::Exception objects are actually being created.

A macro would be convenient, for example:

  #define GDCM_EXCEPTION(description) \
    gdcm::Exception(description, __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__)

Which would allow doing:

  throw GDCM_EXCEPTION("My description");

Of course, such a macro could also have a different name, because people may not like all those capitals. As discussed at [Gdcm2].
