I'm getting the warning Exception should not be an object, and I want to suppress it because it makes sense in my situation. What @Suppress name do I need to use to get rid of the warning? Is there a "suppress all" name?

I believe you can compile with -Xrender-internal-diagnostic-names to see what diagnostic you have to suppress.

Are you aware that using an object for exceptions can mess with your stack trace?

@Klitos Kyriacou It's an exception specifically meant for control flow, there wasn't really a better option. I've explicitly turned off stack traces for it to increase its speed.
