Doug-

I'd love to hear you expand on this.  I can't imagine what you might want to
change in the core language's exception checking rules.  I've done some
language design to support asynchrony, and it transposes to Java very nicely
assuming you have support for disjunctive types (exception transparency).

Cheers,
Neal
