I meant how can I print the actual exception from the thread, including
it's error message, stack trace etc. Consider code like this, it just
ends without any error message:

import std.concurrency, std.stdio;

void main()
{
    writeln("main start");
    spawn(&child);
    for (int i=0; i<1_000_000_000; i++) {};
    writeln("main end");
}

void child()
{
    writeln("thread start");
    for (int i=0; i<100_000; i++) {};
    writeln("thread end");
    throw new Exception("exception from thread");
}

If I use spawnLinked, I know the thread ended, but still no original
exception. If I change main() to terminate before child(), it actually
waits until the child finishes and prints the exception, so there has to
be a way.
