Not necessarily, but this particular instance isn't necessarily a
typing-system issue.  All sane or insane implementations of the @throws
decorator that I can think of (annotation, exception translation,
unittest, etc.) offer no improvement to the language that would warrant
the necessity of a "throws" syntax to replace the @throws decorator.

Remember, not all X line functions should become builtins or syntax.
