I wonder if Oracle isn't as committed to quality documentation (or, 
perhaps, to Java at all) as Sun was. :(

I also wonder what happens with this:


public void method () throws SomeCheckedException, 
SomeUnrelatedCheckedException {

     try {
         throwSomething();
     } catch (SomeCheckedException | SomeUnrelatedCheckedException e) {
         logger.log(e);
         throw e;
     }
}

Does this work? Or does method() need throws 
LastCommonSupertypeOfThoseCheckedExceptions instead to avoid a compile 
error?
