It's simpler actually:

else void assert(T)( T delegate(), string delegate() ) {

Hm, actually it's more complicated than your version :o).

You should be throwing AssertError

I really like lazy for log messages and asserts. I like the implicit  
cast to (scope) pure delegate idea. It works well in those contexts.

With macros, this can be solved without lazy.

I'd say work on getting macros working, then drop lazy and assert.
