Do I completely not understand what is `nothrow` or why I
can't make function nothrow with just catching StdioException?
This doesn't work
```d
nothrow void hello() {
try {
writeln("Hello, World!")
} catch (StdioException) {}
}
```
This doest work
```d
nothrow void hello() {
try {
writeln("Hello, World!")
} catch (Exception) {}
}
```
I believe it's because it can throw ConvException as well ;)
However you're totally right to open a discussion, the
documentation is innacurate:
in https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html#.writeln
just StdioException is mentioned ;)
What if we could do ex. this:
```d
__traits(possibleExceptions, writeln);
```
Which would give all exceptions a function could possibly throw.
That way we could build our try/catch based on that.
For nothrow it should return nothing of course, for extern
functions that have no source code available it should only
return "Exception" of course.
Just a thought I just had.
