As mentioned by the other responses, given that throw is an expression
you can already achieve this through various operators:

// Throw is $name is null
$name ?? throw new Exception();
// Throw if $name is empty
$name ?: throw new Exception();
// Throw if $name is falsy
$name || throw new Exception();
$name or throw new Exception();
// Throw if $name is truthy
$name && throw new Exception();
$name and throw new Exception();

It's not clear in what way your proposal is different. Hence, I'm
pausing the granting of RFC karma until these details are clarified.

Cheers
