What does this look like? I recall you discussing planning adding the
ability for D to catch C++ exceptions, but I was unaware that it had been
implemented yet. Certainly, I couldn't find it in the documentation when I
went looking a month or two back. But I wouldn't think that catching
Exception would work if it's a C++ exception - even if it's a
std::exception, since std::exception doesn't have the same functions as
Exception or Throwable. So, how would you catch a C++ exception in D?
