I couldn't agree more.

What I tried to point out is merely that between Amaury, Kai, 
Martin, Iain, Dan, Joakim and me there is quite a bit of working 
knowledge regarding the internals of the various forms of the 
libunwind-based C++ exception handling mechanism, and I'm sure 
most of us would be happy to help out with any specific questions 
and design decisions (Walter of course being the authority on his 
own EH mechanism, which DMD will however have to transition away 
from on Win64 and Linux/… to transparently interface with C++).
