D exceptions and calling c++ code

[Rob T]

There was a discussion about Exceptions in D.learn that may be 
relevant.

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/yqzjldpknloyxwlbuxlk@forum.dlang.org

If you look though the discussion towards the end you'll see 
mention of "Lippincott functions", and from there a C++ exception 
handler example is shown where you can catch any exception in 
C++. With an exception handler it becomes practical to convert 
any C++ exception into something that D will understand through a 
wrapper function that is exported to D. You won't of course be 
catching the C++ exceptions directly inside D (and you will never 
want to anyway), but you should be able to convert them into 
corresponding D exceptions and catch them from inside your D code.

If you have any success with this, please share your experience.
