7. using enforce() to check for program bugs is utterly wrong.
enforce() is a library creation, the core language does not
recognize it.
What do you suggest to use to check program bugs?
assert()
Then you are potentially releasing programs with bugs that are of
undefined behavior, instead of halting the program immediately.
Isn't that already what you're doing with the current behaviour of
assert? Not only in D, but also in C/C++.

I don't program in those languages, and if I did I would always use
exceptions (at least in C++). I don't want to compromise the safety of
my programs and if they fail I want to get a clean backtrace, not some
random undefined behaviour resulting in a segfault.
