Subtle difference: It says "thrown from inside a *catch* block", 
but current exception chaining is for exceptions thrown from 
inside a *finally* block.

Btw, I want to take this opportunity to highlight this wonderful 
bug I found a few days ago, coincidentally also with exception 
chaining: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19831 , when 
you throw *and catch* an exception inside a finally block the 
runtime gets very confused, and calls the handler for the 
*chained* exception - but with the *thrown* exception.
