It's not correct to suggest that these are simply interchangeable.

They may appear to be similar, but they are two very different 
things.

For example (to just make that point):

nothrow void checkSomething(bool checkThis)
{
     //enforce(checkThis == true); // nope! enforce throws an 
exception.
     assert(checkThis == true); // ok.
}
