Something that Java typically gets the blame for, but was actually introduced in CLU, adopted by Modula-3 and C++ before Java was even born.

And with my .NET hat, I hate having to dig into outdated documentation to discover what exceptions might come my way, so one ends up catching any kind of exception, just in case it might blow, in critical code paths.

AFAIK no C++ does not have checked exceptions like Java does. There's no static check enforcing that a caller needs to handle (or also declare throwing) an Exception declared to be thrown by the called method.
