Perhaps the syntax for one-statement unit tests could be relaxed to not require the braces. This:

	unittest { assert(sort("bac") == "abc"); }
	unittest { assert(sort("bba") == "abc"); }

could become this:

	unittest assert(sort("bac") == "abc");
	unittest assert(sort("bba") == "abc");

And it's suddenly more elegant, more readable and easier to write. No need for a new kind of assert (your 'verify') or a non-throwing mode for asserts. It reminds me of what happened to enum.

But of course, that's probably more work to do in the compiler.
