It certainly is. The only thing that ever ruins my nothrow-ness are
phobos calls ;)

Initialisation logic often looks like this, and I buy the value of
exceptions in this case. However, I've never successfully implemented
it yet though, because the calls that create code like that always
seem to be extern-C calls in my experience... :/
I'm not sure why my D code doesn't manifest those patterns, D just
seems to produce different code than C/C++...
