Personally I find it extremely annoying when I get "unreachable" errors for
assert(0);. Sometimes I want to add it just to figure out whether execution has
reached some part of my code, e.g.:

-----
void function() fp1;
void function() fp2;

void main()
{
    fp1();

    assert(0);  // triggers warning

    fp2();
}
-----

Without the assert(0) I can't tell from the stack-trace at what point something
went wrong:

------
object.Error: Access Violation
------

With the assert injected, if it is reached I'll get back:

core.exception.AssertError at test(8): Assertion failure

Which at least tells me the code before line 8 works ok.
