but you can already do this (i.e. program by not having to use 
exceptions at all).

dmd, for example, doesn't use exceptions (as per previous post 
from Walter).

And it's in D.

I presume you're talking about exceptions in phobos?

I'm not sure how much of phobos was designed for such low-level 
programming.

But in any case, it's all open-source, and can be modified (or 
used to build your own libraries).

So there is nothing holding you back ;-)
