Cute. assertPred was the evolution of this, and it did a lot of nice stuff
(though it wouldn't surprise me it all if it could be improved), but it got
shot down as far as Phobos goes. std.datetime still uses a version of it
internally, but I'm slowing phasing it out. The problem is the template
overhead. I'm pretty sure that it's one of reasons (possibly _the_ reason) why
Walter can't build std.datetime's unit tests (due to running out of memory) on
his older FreeBSD machine (which he still complains about from time to time).

I still like it, but it _does_ instantiate a lot of templates. Ultimately, I
think that most people just use assert at this point and deal with it.
