assert should be an expression and not a statement.

Any clues?

A requirement for assert expression to be inside ExpressionStatement?

assert only evaluates to void but maybe someone writes something like:

module test;

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     bool readyForMath = true;
     int i = 2;
     int result = (assert(readyForMath),i*=i,i++);
     writeln(i);
}
