| Some language implementers have expressed interest in having throwing versions of operations like `struct.get` to simplify the implementation of e.g. Java's `NullPointerException`. It may be worth investigating what the potential code size or performance benefits of these instructions would be. See [#208](https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/issues/208) for details and previous discussion. | ||
