Hi,
after reading various articles bout the "supposed" drawbacks of
checked exceptions I started to have questions on @nothrow. Why
there exists and not a @throws annotation enforced by the
compiler? I understand that people are divided on checked
exceptions and each side has some valid points. But explicitly
marking a function as throwing "something" is another subject.
Why have the dlang community reached to the decision to use
@nothrow and not a @throws?
Adding @throws to a function requires changing all the functions
downstream. Adding @nothrow doesn't.
