I caught a FileException, and want to print out the descriptive 
error, but not the stacktrace. I cannot see how to do this at the 
moment. I only see the toString function.

i.e. in the case below I would like to obtain "c:/temp\junk: The 
directory is not empty." or something similar, but not the stack 
trace.

faild to remove c:/temp\junk (error: 
std.file.FileException std\file.d(1462): c:
/temp\junk: The directory is not empty.

Try writing the exception's 'msg' field (it's a string).

There is also 'file' and 'line'. See the class Throwable (in 
object.d or object.di) and the FileException class in std.file 
(it has some additional fields like errno).

Exceptions have a msg or message (cant remember which one) attribute,
you can use it to get only the message, without the stacktrace
