I propose a new, more threatening kind of control flow.

do {
  /* something */
} or else {
  /* you don't want to find out */
}

Some C++ style guides suggest the following naming convention for functions that crash on any error

Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.
