• I believe my proposal would be useful to the broader TypeScript community (meaning it is not a niche proposal).

Link to the rule's documentation

https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-throw-literal/

Description

Per the docs:

This rule restricts what can be thrown as an exception. When it was first created, it only prevented literals from being thrown (hence the name), but it has now been expanded to only allow expressions which have a possibility of being an Error object.

We've got a v6 release coming up some. Maybe a good time to replacedBy-deprecate/rename to a more accurate name?

Edit: actually, this isn't a breaking change, as we can keep the old rule name aliasing the rule with replacedBy.
