Another approach is to let the compiler deal with the error
handling and not muddy your return type. Swift does something
similar, where it rewrites the throw/catch into a standard
return and doesn't do actual thrown exceptions. There are some
caveats, but if we could fit this kind of error handling into
mostly-similar syntax (i.e. the same ease of exceptions without
the actual problems that exceptions and stack unwinding bring),
it might make things much easier to transition.

I like the Swift error handling, so I think this would be a great
idea for nothrow code with error handling too.
