Some counterpoints. 1. `.new` is 4 characters, is it really that lengthy? I doubt very many type names are 3 or fewer characters. 2. `.()` is a little inconsistent because...
If there was a special case shorthand for `Foo()` I would prefer `()` if possible (no leading `.`). This would be consistent with just dropping the type name when you...
I would like this proposal better if all parameters were also updated to `final` by default. It's a breaking change, but the behavior would be consistent across headers, parameters, and...

@lrhn I think what most users want is not actually checked exceptions just a better way to signal to the tooling what exceptions are thrown, and for the tooling to...
