+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.
To be fair, anything that can be handled in a sane&safe way
should inherit from Exception, not from Error, so throwing away
cleanup for Error makes sense, since an Error means the program
is in an undefined state and should terminate asap.
