I haven't been following this too closely as there is only so 
much I can pay attention to at any time, so I apologize in 
advance if the following comments are uninformed.  If so, just 
ignore them.

I suspect from your comments that you want to use `assert`, but 
it's currently reserved by the language and 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1426 was not 
followed through on, and is currently owned by a ghost 
(literally).

I therefore suggest using `assertThat(whatever)`.  If/when 
`assert` is improved upon to allow integration into this library, 
`assertThat` can be deprecated.

Sorry if I'm making noise,
Mike
