Are all of the Oracle exceptions named?

In particular, I've been trying to find the name of the ORA-0955 to improve code readability.

Currently I'm using the following:

EXCEPTION
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
    IF SQLCODE = -00955

What I would prefer is something like:

EXCEPTION
  WHEN OBJECT_EXISTS THEN

This seems cleaner to me and I would prefer that. But I've looked in SYS.STANDARD, and it lists relatively few named exceptions. Online documentation seems to mirror what's in SYS.STANDARD. Is there another package to look in? Some other resource?
