I personally see no reason for a semantic with RuntimeException. I can't
think of any use-case for it. Maybe let's finish this PR without the switch and
exceptions and open a JIRA with the switch, ideally with some use-case's for
that semantic, so we can further agree on that and see if anyone needs it.
