There was a recent discussion about this. The final consensus was that assert(0) to mean HALT is a small wart in the D language, but it's not worth fixing it, because it's a small enough defect. But if now assert() gets a significant facelift, then this little problem may be fixed along with the other two. Bye, bearophile
