+1 million. I *hate* D's notion of Error. Well, no...more correctly, I
absolutely hate that it throws cleanup/unwinding straight out the window
for many situations that can obviously be handled safely without the
paranoid "ZOMG Sky Is Falling!!!!" overreaction that is baked into the
design of Error. And that causes problems like the one you describe.
Kill it with fire!!!
A wrapper type seems like a plausable workaround, but I really, really
dislike that it would ever be necessary to bother wrapping such a basic
prevailant feature as...arrays, especially just to work around such a
collosal misfeature.
And, as you describe in your reply to H.S. Teoh, the current behavior of
Error can actually cause MORE damage than just rcovering from an
obviously recoverable situation.
