Cy Young

If you could only throw any exception anywhere! Now you can.

In Java, the following code does not compile without the foo() method declaring throws IOException:

public void foo() {
    throw new IOException("..."); // unhandled exception
}

With Cy Young, you can work around that:

public void foo() {// look ma, no throws clause
    throw CyYoung.pitch(new IOException("..."));
}

Handy when you are squeezed between a rock and a hard place, but use this at your own risk. I needed this where I'm interacting with other JVM languages that throw checked exceptions without enforcing the throws clause, and hey, it's nifty, right?
