dbgVerifySorted is not nothrow

[Panke via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I've updated my compiler and ran into this regression:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14981

Code:

---
import std.algorithm, std.container;

void main()
{
        static bool compare(P a, P b)
        {
                return a.curColumn < b.curColumn;
        }
        Array!P a = make!(Array!P);
        sort!compare(a[]);
}

struct P
{
        int curColumn = 0;
}
---

Result:
/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/algorithm/sorting.d(982): Error: 
template instance std.range.assumeSorted!(compare, 
RangeT!(Array!(P))) error instantiating
tmp.d(10):        instantiated from here: sort!(compare, 
cast(SwapStrategy)0, RangeT!(Array!(P)))

/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/range/package.d(7189): Error: 
'std.range.SortedRange!(RangeT!(Array!(P)),

/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/algorithm/sorting.d(982): Error:

RangeT!(Array!(P))) error instantiating
tmp.d(10):        instantiated from here: sort!(compare, 
cast(SwapStrategy)0, RangeT!(Array!(P)))

What I don't understand is, why dbgVerifySorted has to be nothrow 
in the first place. Is that an new requirement for contracts? I 
couldn't find any hint in the language spec.
