There seems to be a bit of wasteful duplication in clojure: there's a
private clojure.core/throw-if and there's clojure.contrib.except/throw-if.
Making matters sillier, they have somewhat different argument lists.
Probably they should be merged into a public clojure.cor

Just throwing "Exception" is discouraged in Java, because its the supertype
checked and unchecked exceptions. I often saw a JVM die of an unproper
exception handling -- mainly when NullPointerExceptions were involved. So we
are on the JVM, want Java interop and so my isistent recommendation is to
