from Dave Dykstal:

Is there a way the compiler can check the throws clause for checked exceptions that can't 
be delivered by the method?  Right now I can do this:

	public void blort() throws BlortException {
		rawBlort(5);
	}

	public void rawBlort(int n) {
		}

even if BlortException is not be thrown by the method body.  Does this make sense?  
Is there a case where something like this would be useful?  A diagnostic would be very 
helpful in cleaning up code after exception classes have been refactored.
