Btw, how does implicit conversion work with `catch` in C++? I.e., if you throw a `char*`, will it be caught when you catch `const char*`? This can not be handled easily with such a template, as we would need to catch both `CppException!(const(char)*)` and `CppException!(char*)`.
I'm hoping it's simply a matter of sticking the right data in a lookup table and letting the C++ runtime figure out what the proper match is for us. D currently has a custom mechanism for throwing on non-Windows platforms, but it may be worth switching to the established C++ approach, provided we can do so without losing anything (and this is a big "if" given how we implicitly chain exceptions).
