Yes, I'm sure it was.

... the fact that D's assert does not match another definition of assert, 
despite using the same name, is not an argument against the definition of 
D's assert.

The fact that it's unsafe is not contested.  The point is the optimization 
is reasonable within D's rules wrt assert and -release.
