You can do this, but it's not ideal. A function can list multiple exceptions in its throws clause, which share no common type except Throwable, but this combination of exception types can't be represented by a single type parameter (except for the common base type). So in a lot of cases, you lose information about the specific exceptions your function can throw, which limits the value of using checked exceptions.
