Yes, that was what I wanted to avoid -- I wanted the tests to be there by default, not only when debugging ... :-)
AFAICS the foreach loop probably does get optimized out by the compiler (I'm using GDC); if anything is left, the time it adds is negligible compared to the natural variation in runtime of the program.
In the end I decided to play ultra-safe and add assert() statements in every context where the array entries are used. Those extra checks don't actually add anything to the non-release runtime, so far as I can tell.
