What I'm buying here is clarity at the price of verbosity. A good deal over reduced kLOCs at the price of obscurity...
IMHO: there are tools that help out with verbosity, for obscurity you're on your own :-(
This is fine, in theory. In practice, our codebase is full of rethrows that add nothing to clarity.

If there were, we'd all be programming in Eiffel ;-).
