Would the compiler warn about this or make the exception normally garbage
collected?

That would be a regular gc allocated Exception.

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?

Didn't want to do a new syntax.
