I'm also concerned about generated code size and overall efficiency. It looks like the assert(0) insertions are there simply to validate the design (they only fail if Phobos has an internal error), so there should be some means to remove them in release builds.

Asserts are supposed to be removed in release builds. There's also the "debug" statement that can be used. Although it won't remove the try-catch.
