If i am bringing this back up sorry , the code sample below just dies with
assertion error, with no line number or file name .  For large projects this
could be a big pain , is it possible to make all these checks at compile
time, or remove the assertion ?

import c.stdio;

bit func( bit possiblyFalse ) { if ( possiblyFalse) return false; }

void main () {
 func(false);
}

It is, and it's a popular point of view. Alas, that popularity doesn't
stretch to our compiler-walter, so we may have to just lump it.
