Walter said exception chaining was unique to D, had turned out to be a bad feature, and he would be happy to see it removed.

Walter said he didn't recall that, but either way, it didn't work very well. C++ had survived without it, and he didn't see why D should keep it.
Everywhere you see "Dennis" in the text, think "Mathias".
