My question was more like what's the benefit of having thrown Errors corrupt your program state rendering it useless for debugging ?
D allows various levels of performance and safety. Though I'd say Errors not working in debug mode is not intended, the optimization should work in release mode which implies debugged code and assumes there are no Errors thrown and you get extra optimization for nothrow functions. Errors are a cheap way to print diagnostic, because you need to do it for unhandled exceptions anyway and it's cross-platform too unlike debugger. Also leaf functions don't know anything about environment and can't do meaningful I/O, e.g. realistically you have standard output only in console applications and not in other applications.
