I guess, although I'm not convinced that's an advantage. The ? syntax is pretty convenient, and it still allows you to do manual matching if you have a good reason to. I think the main thing you'd gain with checked exceptions is being able to list the possible failures in the function signature, instead of having to create an enum type. But I guess I'm not sure it's really worth the tradeoff.
