Adding exception handling to remove the problem of propogating error codes all the way up the stack. Still not quite super-consistant, but getting there. Util functions still return true/false since they just ask questions, but API functions will throw errors to ensure they are being dealt with. Main CLI class needs to take advantage of this fact and become simpler. Tests are already modified to detect new exceptions with one exception :)
