LDC has:
  -enable-asserts                              - (*) Enable assertions
  -enable-boundscheck                          - (*) Enable array bounds checks
  -enable-contracts                            - (*) Enable function pre- and post-conditions

Options marked with (*) also have a -disable-FOO variant with inverted
