Given how common static assert(0) is, I wonder if something could be 
done to improve the error message quality in the
"static assert(0, "xxx")" case?

file.d(58): static assert  (0) is false, "xxx"

Maybe drop out the "(0) is false" bit, since it doesn't seem to add much 
value, changing it to something like:

file.d(58): static assert, "xxx"

Or even drop the 'static assert' bit entirely, and just display "xxx".
