No, probably just laziness :-)

Subject: Re: Exceptions . . .
In my opinion, it's best to trap the error as soon as possible. As
far as I remember, that's our standard practice, and as we come
across
items like this, we correct them.
I may be mistaken, but my experience tracking down some problems in
the
past couple days indicates that we rarely check that invariants hold
true. Instead, things go as far as they can, the exception is caught,
wrapped, and sent back up the pipeline. I imagine it's been done this
way as a performance benefit, but I'm not sure the overhead would be
that great anyway. Comparisons are pretty cheap.
