If code detects an error like "out of memory," then an Error is thrown with a
message saying "Out of memory". The function call stack is unwound, looking for
a handler for the Error. Finally blocks are executed as the stack is unwound.
If an error handler is found, execution resumes there. If not, the default
Error handler is run, which displays the message and terminates the program.

This paragraph from http://dlang.org/errors.html exemplifies stack unwinding
and cleanup. It should be changed to use an Exception.

The page (http://dlang.org/errors.html) should explain the difference between
both kinds of Throwables, i.e. recoverable Exceptions and unrecoverable Errors.
