I don't use D contracts, even though I use asserts.

I find that adding contracts bloats my code quite a lot, making 
it less readable.

real log(real x)
in
{
     assert(x > 0);
}
body
{
     return ...;
}

v.s.

real log(real x)
{
     assert(x > 0);
     return ...;
}

As far as I'm aware there is no difference except when 
inheritance is involved, so it's an easy choice for me.
