It would be great if clang showed warnings about common incorrect usage of
exceptions and appropriate fix-it hint.

That is:
1. "throw new"
2. catch by value
3. rethrow that change exception type

#include <stdexcept>


int main()
{
    try
    {
        throw new std::runtime_error("hello, kitty!"); // warning: "throw new",
fix-it: remove "new"
    }
    catch (std::exception e) // warning: catch by value, fix-it: add "const&"
or "&"
    {
        throw e; // warning: rethrow change a type, fix-it: remove "e"
    }

    return 0;
}
