I disagree. D is a systems app and so should not require termination on any error. The distinction to me is that Errors require special handling if recovery is to be attempted, while it's often safe (if bad practice) to simply log Exceptions and soldier on. That isn't to say that it's always possible (and certainly not always advisable) to recover from an Error, but I think that decision should be left up to the user.
If we go down that path, then nothrow functions can never allocate memory.
