Hello,

Is there a way to specify what error to throw using (a variant of) assert:
     assert(n > 0, new ValueError("..."));

(Sure, one can write:
     if (n <= 0)
         throw new ValueError("..."));
but the same remark applies to plain assert: the whole point of assert is to 
have it as builtin feature with clear application field & well-known semantics, 
shared by the community of D programmers.)

With built-in assert, no. But std.exception can do it.

enforce(n > 0, new ValueError("..."));

 Btw, is the inline problem just a DMD implementation problem, or does
 enforce have to be fixed for that?



DMD implementation problem. The inliner doesn't support ref, out, lazy, 
and delegate arguments at this time. Enforce uses a lazy second 
argument so it doesn't get inlined.
