Comment (by filosofo):

 I think there are at least two possible benefits to using exceptions in
 WP:
  * It would allow us to handle error conditions in fewer places, which
 means more consistent error handling.
  * It's probably much faster to catch exceptions at a few points than to
 do the many `is_wp_error` checks we do now, because we could write code
 that assumes a certain type of return value and let PHP handle the branch
 in logic when the exception is thrown instead.
