Throwable is a little too high in the exception hierarchy:

     Throwable
     /      \
Error    Exception
  /  \      /   \

A program should catch only Exception and its subtypes. The Error 
sub-hierarchy represents errors about the state of the program. The 
program state may be so invalid that it is not guaranteed that even 
writefln() or 'return' will work.

For the same reason, if it is really an Error that has been thrown, even 
the destructors are not called during stack unwinding.
