Give the interview I posted a read: one key point is to assume users
actually care about the exception itself, when in reality they generally don't.
This leads to tons of code which just appends a "throws Throwable" clause to
method signatures, which defeats the purpose of the feature. Or worse, silently
swallowing exceptions just to make them go away, leading to really hard to find
issues. Our code base, for instance, is littered with throws Throwable clauses,
which also gets rid of checked exceptions, but also adds a lot of unnecessary
clutter.
