digitalmars.D.learn - exceptions thrown by new / object constructor ?

What exceptions can be throw by object constructor / new expression? 
Following code fails to compile because compiler says that both functions 
foo and bar can throw.

class C {
    nothrow this () {}
}
    
nothrow void foo () {
    auto c = new C;
}

nothrow void bar () {
    auto o = new Object;
}

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_gc.html

in GC docs it says it throw OutOfMemoryException, but shouldn't that be 
OutOfMemoryError ? Isn't the docs just outdated...?

Ether it should compile or the compiler should error that a constructor can not
be nothrow.

This has already been fixed in svn, and will be in the next release. See 
bug 3020.
nothrow is painful and limited in 2.050, but should be quite usable in 
2.051.

Great! Many thanks! This issue has greatly limited nothrow usage because 
'new' is so common.
