So to know what exceptions are possible you have to compile the 
code? I consider that inferior to other solutions such as callee 
explicitly stating what exceptions it may throw, because then all 
you have to do is glance at the callee. Also, I think explicitly 
stating your intent in this manner (by the callee not just the 
caller) is a good idea, to make sure you are not throwing some 
exception you didn't mean to throw.
