My question has never been the difference between programming and input 
errors. My question always has been how the compiler ascribes 
programming errors to things that could easily also be checkable and 
recoverable, depending on context. For instance, array bounds checks. D 
makes this choice for you, and it's unfortunate to have to check things 
twice, or not rely on the compiler to insert those checks.

But luckily D is powerful enough to add types that do the right thing :)
