 I felt they had some similarities.  How do you think, Walter?

The design by contract features in D are based on Bertrand Meyer's writings
on the subject in his book on Object Oriented Programming. Since he also
invented Eiffel, it's unsurprising that they share a similar outlook on
contract programming. However, I think the similarity of D to Eiffel ends
there.

(Interestingly, he quotes me in his book!)
