Druntime uses contracts and asserts in places. Which are of course removed because we ship only a "release" build. Once again, the worst naming for a compiler switch ever. What I really want is a way to ship release and non-release builds (ie. checked and unchecked) and have the proper one chosen at link time based on build flags. Basically toss the -defaultlib and -debuglib and replace it with -checkedlib and -uncheckedlib.
While shipping a debug version of druntime would be useful, I think the real problem is that checking preconditions is disabled by the callee! If preconditions are violated, the error is in the caller, and checking should be enabled based on the application's flags.
