As far as I know they have decided to make memory overflow errors, so they are
not exceptions, you can't catch them. Other people will confirm this or not.
In this case, how would you go about handling out-of-memory situations? A

this.
You can catch errors, if you want to deal with them.
Oops, right. In my mind, exceptions are still anything which can be thrown or
caught. I need to remember that it has a more specific meaning in D.
But note that you cannot explicitly throw an error from a nothrow
function. nothrow functions can throw memory exceeded errors or
assertion failure errors. I don't think they can throw other things.
