I understand this position and that new programers of D find it odd that
examples don't have any output. However I have taking a liking to using
assert as it documents what is expected and there is no need for a comment.
On top of that it gets people familiar with assert and potentially using it
in their own code and the icing is that unittests are built in the same
manner (you should expect no output when everything is OK).
I tend to prefer the unambiguous:
assert(1+2==3);
as opposed to the wordy and possibly misinterpreted:
writeln(1+2); // should print 3
