No. The D runtime disables catching the (custom) exception for the stack
trace when running in a debugger. This allows you to analyze the call
stack of unhandled exceptions in the debugger.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to re-enable that catch, only
to disable it for regular execution. If you have a long running process
you can attach to it after program start, that will result in the
unhandled exception being shown.

The next release of Visual D will show the exception type and message
(and the location if available) in the output window along with the
"Priviledged instruction" messages. I hope to be able to release a beta
in the next couple of days.
