Yes, the whole discussion is bogus. The only reason to not use 
exceptions in C++ is in embedded or in inner loops (where you 
typically don't need them anyway). The motivation for providing 
an alternative to exceptions in C++ is that not having an 
embedded-friendly standard library is problematic. It is harmful 
to their eco system.

D needs to focus on core issues. This is not a core issue for D. 
D needs to focus on usability and memory management issues first, 
which is hurting D's eco system.

Or, just *focus* in general… Being all over the map all the time 
is not a good thing for a design process.
