TDPL code that should work:

Errors out:

Why would the return type of e.next be Throwable if e is an Exception type?
Because e.next is a Throwable reference inherited from Throwable:
class Throwable {
Throwable next;
}
class Error : Throwable {}
class Exception : Throwable {}
Because collateral exceptions could be both Errors and Exceptions, I don't
think the sample code can work exactly as written.
Sean's right. And thanks Sean and Walter for implementing the exceptions
spec properly, I believe it's very important to the success of D.
Andrej... sounds like another errata entry, please :o).
