What are your thoughts? Have you run into this? If so, how did you

I don't use vibe, but my cgi.d just catches RangeError, kills the
individual connection, and lets the others carry on. Can you do the same
thing?
There are a couple issues with this. At least from the perspective of
vibe.d attempting to be a mainstream base library.
1. You can mark a function nothrow that throws a RangeError. So the
compiler is free to assume the function won't throw and build faster code
that won't properly clean up if an Error is thrown.
2. Technically, there is no guarantee by the runtime to unwind the stack.
So at some point, your workaround may not even work. And even if it does,
things like RAII may not work.

that is, the question reduces to "should out-of-bounds be Error or Exception"?
i myself see no easy way to customize this with language attribute
(new/delete disaster immediately comes to mind). so i'd say: "create your
own array wrapper/implementation, and hope that all the functions you need
are rangified, so they'll be able to work with YourArray".
