/dbc.html states:
"an assert in function bodies works by throwing an AssertException, which can be caught and handled."

/expression.html#AssertExpression says:
"Asserts evaluate the expression. If the result is false, an AssertError is thrown."

Which statement is correct?
How to catch an assertion exception?

dmd/src/phobos/std/asserterror.d has a definition for an AssertError class. So you'd use

catch(AssertError ae)
{

}

to catch an AssertError.

This also means that dbc.html has a typo.
