It is throwing subclasses of "RunTimeException". Those don't have to
be declared (as I've explained numerous times before...).
Basically, "you gave me bad parameters" is not useful information
informing the caller of some valid, but abnormal, situation (as in an
IOException) - it's a programming bug. Detecting bad parameters is not
part of the API, it is protection for the implementation.
