Yes I have already found it. There is also 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/core/exception.d#L447 
but I don't see any way to replace it with user handler.

Anyway some sort of library solution (probably via __traits) is 
much more desired because that will be applicable also to things 
like std.exception.enforce and alike.
