Secondly, exception handling in windows is practically

When I began to implement it, I feared it might be impossible.
There isn't any guarantee that exception chaining can actually
be implemented on all platforms.
I had actually tested the above on Windows with DMD 2.075.1 and
got the expected behavior, not the buggy behavior.
I invested quite a lot personally in implementing chained
exceptions. But I agree with you.
I was actually quite proud that I worked out the nasty corner
cases during the initial implementation. As far as I can tell,
problems with chained exceptions are not because of bugs and
implementation issues, but because of problems with the concept
itself.
I think it's just a bit too clever.
Do you mind pointing me in the direction of where chained
exceptions are explained?
