It is not guaranteed by spec (I guess this was added to allow
assert(0) to be converted into HLT instruction) though in most
cases it does. Neither it is guaranteed to run destructors of
RAII entities (and it doesn't already for some cases).
Pretty much only reason `Error` is not equivalent to plain
`abort` call is to allow some last resort debbugging dump and
provide more meaningful information about the failure. Any
application that tries to recover from Error in any way falls
into unstandard D domain.
