Could you please tell me if Phobos contains any Exception class 
descendants? If so, does the documentation contain a full list of 
these or even the hierarchy scheme?

Andrei doesn't lover of hierarchies of exceptions. But there was a discussion to add some commonly useful exceptions to Phobos. Bye, bearophile

Some modules declare exception types that they use (e.g. std.file.FileException and std.utf.UTFException), but there are very few which aren't derived directly from Exception, and for the most part, they're only used by the module which declares them. There was some discussion a while back of improving the hierarchy a bit, but it's never happened. - Jonathan M Davis
