Let me second Mick Jordan's call for throw specifications as part of
the signature of a method, and for compiler checking that no other
exceptions are thrown from (or through) a method. Unexpected exceptions
are yet-another run-time bug that could be caught at compile-time to create
more robust programs.
Mick has real numbers from real program where compile-time analysis
found exception specification violations that would otherwise have shown up
(eventually) as run-time failures.
