I agree; I think that if we go this way all exceptions would have to appear 
in the contract. To make that managable, we'd also need a way to define a 
"set" of exceptions so they could be referred to together. I personally 
think that is sufficient, and it would let the compiler tell you what it 
knows about exceptions being raised.
