Ability to throw checked exceptions without declaring them
One of Java's most controversial features is checked exceptions, and most
other languages—including newer JVM-based languages (Scala, Clojure,
etc.)—have dispensed with them. Check out this [fantastic interview with
Anders Hejlsberg](http://www.artima.com/intv/handcuffs.html) (creator of C#) on
why checked exceptions are a bad idea.
This utility gives users a way to dispense with checked exceptions even in
Java, in a minimally intrusive fashion. By standardizing such a utility and
giving it widespread adoption, hopefully the folks over at Oracle will
eventually give in and drop the feature in a later release of Java. Luckily, it
wouldn't be backwards incompatible to do so.
