It does normally, but it doesn't destruct objects when those are 
in `nothrow` functions.

Nothrow functions don't throw, so have no cleanup.

You could argue it is strange that assert throws...

Most wont throw a Error though. And typical services have canary 
releases and rollback.

So you just fix it, which you have to do anyway.

Not saying its perfect, but if you only use asserts when you have 
to, and handle other things using the type system, it doesn't 
actually happen all that often.
