I don't know implicit catching. I would like to learn from others.

I think the common rules are:

- Don't catch anything
- Unless you can do something about it (e.g. ask the user something to 
retry, augment it, etc.)

I almost always catch in main() (or a thread's main function) and only 
to print a clean error message:

void main() {
   try {
     // ...

   } catch (Exception e) {
     stderr.writefln!"ERROR: %s"(e.msg);
   }
}

That's it for me. :)
