Summary: Optional source compatibility check

Initial Comment:
There are some changes which are binary compatible, but which are not source compatible - for example, throws clauses are checked at compile-time only.

It would be very useful to be able to optionally report such changes.

I realise that Clirr targets binary compatibility, but it's likely to be relatively easy to apply additional compatibility rules within Clirr, compared with writing a different tool to do the same job.
