--- Comment #1 from Jack Stouffer <jack at jackstouffer.com> ---
Full example of catching the exception and still going

import std.string;
import std.stdio;

void foo(int i) {
    // In this case a %s is forgotten but it could be any other trivial error.
    assert(i == 42, format("Bad parameter:", i));
}

void main() {
    try {
        foo(43);
    } catch (Exception) {
        writeln("something threw");
    }

    writeln("This still runs despite being in undefined state");
}

Yeah, this is really, really bad.
