On page 82 of TDPL, it's talking about try/catch/finally statements,

try/catch/finally blocks have braces, which is what I would expect that
sentence to mean. C++ has that restriction for reasons that I don't
understand, but as far as I can tell, D does not - certainly dmd doesn't
appear to require it. Is the statement correct but refers to something
else,
or is it in error?

That's a surprise to me. Walter, is that intentional?
They do not require braces, they just require that the controlling statement not
be a single ;. In the grammar, this is a ScopeStatement, which is a
NonEmptyStatement or a BlockStatement.
