We should generate the default string from the expression for D too. (at
a minimum, I'd actually like to see every variable printed out too, but
this is already written)
Those strings eat up space and are of pretty marginal utility. Don't want
to make assert's so bloatsome that people are discouraged from using them.
nope, they aren't. but they are immediately helpful. i integrated such
patch to my dmd ages ago, and i'm not speaking out of nothing -- they *are* helful.
and i can't see how *adding* *useful* *info* to assertion will discourage
people from using 'em.
"bloatsome"? i don't think so. those generated messages is small (usually
20-30 bytes), and nothing comparing to druntime/phobos size.
