The problem is that implementing your request requires adding a "throws
SemanticException" to the Switchable.apply() method. This would render
the use of on the fly anonymous instances quite cumbersome.

The second point is, if all methods have a "throws SemanticException"
signature, in what is it different from the implicit "throws
RuntimeException"?

So, I am not sure that this feature is really an improvement. I would
need additional convincing arguments.
