thats a nice idea! is this happening because of assert(false)
being always part of release builds (as mentioned here:
https://dlang.org/spec/contracts.html#assert_contracts) or
because the if would have no instructions anymore if this is
removed.
Yes assert(false) or assert(0) is a special case according to the
specification. At least in the DMD implementation it is not
removed for -release. If reached it throws an "object.Error@(0):
assert(0) or HLT instruction" instead of
core.exception.AssertError
