The documentation is not clear. "they will be compiled out"
means "contracts are compiled out". So, an enforce() would
disappear if it's inside such a block, which should not be
what the programmer wants for an enforce().
The documentation was clear as glass (but wrong): "Use assert
in contracts."
Fixed it through the "Improve this page" link on that Phobos
page:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/exception.d
"Use $(D assert) in contracts." is still in there.
What's wrong with that? What documentation is trying to say is
"do not use enforce in contracts; use assert in contracts" and
that's exactly the idea.
I can't see a problem which would be solved by following this
advice. It distracts the reader (me) from gettin his (my) work
done. If I compile not for release both, enforce and assert, are
in effect. If I compile for release both, enforce and assert, are
disabled. So by replacing enforce with assert I gain nothing.
