That's just not true.  Your post does not give any hint as to how
throw clauses or exceptions in function types are to affect the
translation.  The word "throws" doesn't even appear anywhere in your
post at all.  But I'm glad to see that you're now considering some of
the areas where your specification was completely lacking before.

How would your translation scheme handle the code below?  Your post
contains not a single hint.

   #void()(throws ChangedCharSetException, UnknownHostException,
SAXParseException)[] array1 =
      new #void()(throws ChangedCharSetException, UnknownHostException)[1];
   #void()(throws IOException, AWTException, SAXException)[] array2 = array1;
