By default there is no mechanism to fill in this info, so it's null.
The "proper" usage would be something like:
if(ex.info)
writefln("Traceback: %s", ex.info);
But again, there is no mechanism to fill this in, only the hooks to
make it possible to do so.
Team0xf has made a few traceback modules which work only with Tango on
Windows to fill in this info, but there's no reason it couldn't be
done on other platforms or with Phobos.
