Good point. But I think it is a bad idea to alter the JLS to catch
undeclared checked exceptions -- if that is really being considered.

Neal appears to be correct in requiring that a dynamic call site
throws Throwable. Dynamic languages can ingnore the exceptions if they
want, but the Java code shouldn't.
