I would think that's a pretty bad idea: it introduces a `crash' at run-time rather than at compile-time. If the error is, for example, in some rarely-encountered but vital error-handling code, you might get bitten hard.
The ability to see these kind of things at compile-time is one of the main reasons I often choose compiled languages over interpreted ones.
