If you have caught an `Exception` or a `Throwable`, so are unsure of the exact type, you can avoid creating unnecessary wrappers using Guava's `Throwables.propagate`.
If you need to re-throw multiple checked exceptions that does not share common base other than `Exception`, to avoid unnecessary wrapping of runtime exceptions, you can use Java 7 multi-catch.

```java
try {
myObject.methodThrowingException();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw Throwables.propagate(e);
myObject.methodThrowingExceptions();
} catch (SomeCheckedException | OtherCheckedException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
```

This will wrap checked exceptions and re-throw unchecked exception as is.
