Number one clearly does not apply to checked exceptions, number two
applies to returning values, too. Of course you could assign a value and
follow the approach of having a single return statement at the end, but
I never understood why

I take the point that it is possible to make code harder to read using
exceptions in a way that is not possible without. I must admit I didn't
really think it through when I read Joel's blog post

Some have argued that there's nothing wrong with checked exceptions,
per se, it's just that people don't use them right. This is akin to
acknowledging that every attempt to practice communism on a national
level has lead to a repressive police state, and yet

The one trick is to realize that the safe version is actually the more
specific one. If you think of the exception in terms of the type union
(not accurate, but a decent analogy), then Unsafe.method() returns
void|IOException while Safe.method() returns void, which is a more
manageable to me -- both for the compiler and the human
reader. Does anyone know reasons why no language seems to have this feature?
