Different applications and environments want and need different 
behavior out of assert() failures. Under Win32, for example, if 
a DirectDraw application owns the frame buffer, it may not be 
possible to put up an "assertion failed" message box. Will D 
provide an application-overridable report-assertion-failed 
hook?

Assert fails throw an exception, which you can catch and deal with as

That's ok, I find myself forgetting what's in the spec some times, too!
