throw>! is an explicit operation, and there's no special channel states involved. It's passing an exception like other data that just automatically throws it when taken. So it won't hurt anybody. You can use it when you need it, you can ignore it if you don't need it. Yet, it makes using async functions look almost identical to the sync functions.
