Optional.orThrow(Exception)?

Adding this method would encourage the following usage:

Optional.present(10)
    .orThrow(new RuntimeException("test"))

which has the hidden cost of calling the expensive Throwable.fillInStackTrace().

This may be useful in situations where you may want to continue after catching an error if a value is present. Take the following example:

try {
  doSomething()
} catch (Exception thrown) {
  var errorHandler = this.errorHandler.orThrow(thrown);
  errorHandler.handle(thrown);
}

I don't think this is very common however, and it isn't much harder to write orThrow(() -> thrown).
