Hi,

Thanks for sharing your ideas :)
I'm personally not favorable to that for the simple reason that this 
implementation is a custom behavior for throwing exceptions, plus I don't see 
how it'll benefit many users.

I understand though that default answer for mock annotation is a bit of an 
issue as annotations in Java don't allow live instances for values, which is an 
issue if we want to add custom answer. But I'd rather define the mock using 
Mockito.mock(type, withSettings.defaultAnswer(the answer)), that offer more 
flexibility that annotations.

Anyway that'll depend on how the rest of the team feels about it.
