But this code isn't "working". It's wrong and is a source of heisenbugs like
every other code throwing exceptions across language boundaries. I see no
excuse to have incorrect C library bindings and thus force D users to pay
on-going cost of fixing heisenbugs because of it.

And yes, it isn't a regression.
