"removes" -> "replaces"

Doing this recursively seems unnecessary, since AggregateException is guaranteed
not to contain any other AggregateExceptions.

Done.

"list exceptions" -> "list of exceptions"

It seems like this should be a set, since the order exceptions come in is going
to be nondeterministic most of the time.

[Bob Nystrom, 2013/08/20 21:29:20]

Done.

It would be nice to have a static method here that takes an
Iterable<BarbackException> and does:

    if (errors.length == 0) return null;
    if (errors.length == 1) return errors.single;
    return new AggregateException(errors);

Also, this should have a useful toString.

[Bob Nystrom, 2013/08/20 21:29:20]

Done.
