The only place a refcounted Throwable is ever created is when

Would the compiler warn about this or make the exception normally
garbage collected?
I'm not sure, but perhaps an entirely different syntax would be
in place for throwing a refcounted object, so there's no special
casing. For example, could a throw statement without the new
keyword mean a refcounted throw?
