I also forgot to mention that when there is an out of bound 
access, both C++ and D throw an exception. Exceptions are usually 
a big no no in kernels because the potential memory allocation. 
In kernels you want to reduce and have absolute control over 
memory allocations. Only the new proposal "lean exceptions" in 
C++ might be interesting for kernels.
