@benleggiero commented on @benleggiero’s file https://kotlinlang.slack.com/files/T09229ZC6/F04AVNRBLNP: @ilya.gorbunov this change would make it so that the Kotlin stdlib would not compile until all functions that contain a throw call (or a call to a function that throws) either have throws in their signature, or change their contents to internally handle the exception.

I did specify that lambdas (I called them closures) can be declared with throws, but now I realize that's not enough. I'll update my proposal; Swift also has a rethrows keywords to handle this situation, so that if and only if the lambda's contents throws an exception, the lambda is treated as if it also throws.
