Someone actually crated all of those and made a pull request to Phobos,
but it was rejected because people decided it was better to improve the
regular assert to be able to display such information automatically.
Predictably, these hypothetical improvements to assert never actually
got made (it's been probably around a couple years now), so that's why
we've still got nothing like that in the stock DMD/Phobos.

I do wish we weren't in the habit of letting "perfect" get in the way of
progress.
