It's not necessarily a "re-"throw. It could just be a throw of a newly detected error, like: try { if bad_thing { do yeet Error::new(.

It's not necessarily a "re-"throw. It could just be a throw of a newly detected error, like: try { if bad_thing { do yeet Error::new(...); } carry_on() } Just plain "throw" would probably be fine, but I understand not wanting to bikeshed it at this stage. Weirdly, "yeet" really does convey the sense of "just give up and chuck this thing back instead" that makes it a reasonable nice converse of "try", i.e. "try { yeet }".
