Ok? I'm not sure what you are saying no to and I understand this. 
It makes sense because foo catches bar's error and doesn't throw 
it up and further. I was just saying that the reference here 
https://dlang.org/spec/function.html was not all that clear since 
the section entitled nothrow merely states:

"Nothrow functions do not throw any exceptions derived from class 
Exception.
Nothrow functions are covariant with throwing ones."

A deeper search on the page made me realize that there are more 
examples later which clarify how to declare a "nothrow" function 
however I didn't bother looking deeper at the time since the main 
section for nothrows gave no indication that I should.
