I don't mind either way - just wanted to note that the notion of blanket statements for `NullPointerException` is used in several areas ([java.util.logging](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.logging/java/util/logging/package-summary.html), [java.net.http](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.net.http/java/net/http/package-summary.html) ...).
