I think your anecdotal experience with exception specification in Java is
at odds with this expectation.
We all know programmers who are faced with seemingly annoyance hoops to
jump through jump through them with the least possible effort.
It's not really the same, because silencing checked exceptions results in a
solution that is worse than not having checked exceptions at all. Here if
the programmer takes the 'easy route' and sticks in a "default: break;"
they're just getting the old behavior back.
