Please don't catch any exceptions and re-raise them in a different type, 
just let them pass through.

I specifically don't think raising a normal NotFound when the catalog 
has a brain that doesn't map to an object is the right thing to do. I'd 
much prefer a BrainHasNoMatchingObject exception or some such which is 
nice and clear...

cheers,
