Yah but with expect() Google Test users will feel at home :o).

Anyway, I think it's reasonable to say that all other things being 
equal, messing with the meaning of assert() depending on where it occurs 
is a strong argument against the current stance.

Walter, again, you may want to think of pleasing the core and potential 
contributors to Phobos in particular and D in general as those that 
currently take the brunt of unittest usage. As one of them, I can say 
that I'd much enjoy it if you kindly agreed to have assert() end the 
current unittest.


Thanks,

Andrei
