It's better that way, because it allows you to write proper wrappers 
for C++ functions that may throw exceptions. Like this:

	extern "C"
	int _doSomething_wrapper(int value)
	{
		try
		{
			return doSomething(value);
		}
		catch (const std::exception & e)
		{
			_d_throw_exception(e.what());
		}
	}

with _d_throw_exception written in D and throwing an exception.
