My bad, I missed that the type argument will get erased, but in fact this
makes it even worse. With this method you can outwit the compiler, throwing a
checked exception further up the stack, leading to situations where code that
would never expect a checked exception force to handle it.
I would prefer to explicitly throw the checked exception wrapped in a
RuntimeException as guava does in its Throwables class.
