Ah, I must have read that 'explanation' as 'example'.

Hmm, yes. That section doesn't seem to explain what exceptions *are*, 
does it? It seems to assume you already know that.
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/errors.html is a bit better, but I'm not 
sure how clear it is to someone entirely unfamiliar with the concept of 
exception handling (e.g. someone coming from a purely C background).
