automatic debugging / disabling D's built-in exeption handler

[Bill Baxter]

By following the instructions given, eg, here:
http://www.codeproject.com/debug/windbg_part1.asp#_Toc64133667

it should be possible to make the debugger pop up automatically for 
programs that have exceptions.

According to the article above:
"WinDbg will be launched if an application throws an exception while not 
being debugged and does not handle the exception itself"

Apparently D does some sort of top-level catch of such exceptions right 
now, because sticking an "asm { int 3; }" in the code just prints the 
message "Error: Win32 Exception" instead of launching the debugger.  Is 
there some way to disable that?

Really what I was trying to do was see if I could get Visual Studio to 
debug D code.  Actually it sort of works.  If you have a program with a 
main loop, you can use visual studio's Tools->Debug Processes... to 
attach to the running process.  If you've built your program with -g, 
you can see the stack trace and step through the program normally, and 
even set breakpoints.

But you can't examine variables.  VisualStudio could tell that there was 
a "this" pointer, and knew it was of type MyClass, but it couldn't tell 
what was inside of 'this'.  I wonder if there's a way to make a Visual 
Studio plugin that would give you this ability?
