class C
{
public:
    this()
    {
    }

    ~this()
    {
        assert (0);
    }
}

void main()
{
    C c = new C;
}

Upon destruction, it throws:
core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError

Which is very vague / incorrectly describes the problem. The documentation also
does not mention throwing exceptions is forbidden in destructors (or are they
not?).

For debugging purposes I do like to assert some stuff in the destructor
though...
