It's my opinion - shoot to my foot or not and select preffered
weapon for it. :)
2. Without "-release" assert(0) launches scope(exit),
scope(failure) and
"finally" blocks. I.e. we get a completely different behavior

"-release" and not "-release" mode.
Yeah, -release drastically changes how asserts behave. That's
its purpose. A program should not fail asserts. If it does,
that's a bug. In particular, assert(0) should never be reached.
If it is reached, that's a bug.
We do not have way to in "scope(failure)" or "scope(exit)" detect
- it's "assert" or "throw".
P.S.
I do not argue, "assert" - it's catch for fundamental programmers
bug.
