For what it's worth, the D docs page that he links to doesn't mention
your name at all.  I mean, I suppose Walter could give credit for each
feature but that seems a bit out of place in a formal spec.

Only in http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/exception-safe.html are you
actually mentioned, and even there it doesn't really credit you as the
inventor of the idea, just that you argued for it.
