#### What problem are you trying to solve?

I am testing a function that requires me to pass a parameter to it. In certain cases it will throw an Error. I am unable to test this function without making a wrapper for it.

```js
const foo = (message) => {
throw Error(message)
}

let msg = "sup hapi devs"
expect(foo(msg)).to.throw(msg) // Epic fail

const wrapper = () => foo(msg)
expect(wrapper).to.throw(msg) // Success!
```

#### Do you have a new or modified API suggestion to solve the problem?
I'll look into it, just wanted to see if this concern is legitimate.
