No, checked exceptions leads to this (maybe not for you, but

compiler: foo throws, and you need to handle or declare the 
exceptions it throws

void foo()
{
   try {
     functionWithException();
   } catch(Exception e) {} // shut up compiler
}



Just curious: how are checked exceptions different from setting 
nothrow as the default? Like you would have to write:

void foo() @maythrow
{
   functionWithException();
}

So for instance, you could still use your "//shut up compiler" 
code with the nothrow default.
