throw with String

[Patrick Wright]

People - pretty soon Joe Darcy is going to show up in a bad mood.
Project Coin is not interested in any more submissions or discussion
like this, and if it were, as Joe will soon remind you, it would only
be with a detailed proposal for how it should work and be implemented.
The list is now just used for updates regarding the implementations of
the respective proposals that were selected.

It's an interesting discussion, but I think you should just take it
somewhere else.

Regards
Patrick
