-A `throw` expression *does not* replace a `throw` statement due to the difference 
-in the precedence of their values. To maintain the precedence of the `throw` statement,
-we must add a lookahead restriction to `ExpressionStatement` to avoid ambiguity.
-
-Due to the difference in precedence between a `throw` expression and a _ThrowStatement_, certain operators to the right
-of the expression would parse differently between the two which could cause ambiguity and confusion:
+In order to avoid a difference in precedence between `throw` expression and a _ThrowStatement_, we want to ensure that
+operators within the expression are parsed in the same way in order to avoid ambiguity and confusion:
 
 ```js
 throw a ? b : c; // evaluates 'a' and throws either 'b' or 'c'
-(throw a ? b : c); // without restriction would throw 'a', so `?` is forbidden
+(throw a ? b : c);
 
 throw a, b; // evaluates 'a', throws 'b'
-(throw a, b); // would throw 'a', not 'b', so `,` is forbidden
+(throw a, b);
 
 throw a && b; // throws 'a' if 'a' is falsy, otherwise throws 'b'
-(throw a && b); // would always throw 'a', so `&&` is forbidden
+(throw a && b);
 
 throw a || b; // throws 'a' if 'a' is truthy, otherwise throws 'b'
-(throw a || b); // would always throw 'a', so `||` is forbidden
+(throw a || b);
 
 // ... etc.
 ```
 
-As a result, all binary operators and the `?` operator are forbidden to the right of a `throw` expression. To use these
-operators inside of a `throw` expression, the expression must be surrounded with parentheses:
+As a result, `throw` expressions are only parsed inside of a _ParenthesizedExpression_, and thus will always require
+outer parentheses to be parsed correctly:
 
 ```js
-(throw (a, b)); // evaluates 'a', throws 'b'
-(throw (a ? b : c)); // evaluates 'a' and throws either 'b' or 'c'
-```
-
-However, we do not forbid `:` so that a `throw` expression can still be easily used in a ternary:
-
-```js
-const x = a ? throw b : c; // if 'a' then throw 'b', else evaluate 'c'
+(throw a, b); // evaluates 'a', throws 'b'
+(throw a ? b : c); // evaluates 'a' and throws either 'b' or 'c'
+a ? (throw b) : c;
+
+// mostly nonsensical uses, requires extra parenthesis:
+if ((throw a)) { }
+while ((throw a)) { }
+do { } while ((throw a));
+for ((throw a);;) { }
+for (; (throw a);) {}
+for (;; (throw a)) {}
+for (let x in (throw a)) { }
+switch ((throw a)) { }
+switch (a) { case (throw b): }
+return (throw a);
+throw (throw a);
+`${(throw a)}`;
+a[(throw b)];
+a?.[(throw b)];
