Now we have the messages for the assertions. And this can be used to help a D newbie very much with the error in this program:

/**/ import std.stdio;
/**/ int main( char[][] args ){
/**/   foreach( s; args ){
/**/     writefln( a );
/**/   }
/**/ }

gives:
Error: AssertError Failure m.d(6)

Feature request: Please add the message "missing return statement at function exit"

Funny you should say that.. I started going through the front end last night looking at those.. I'll attach a patch to a bug tonight or tomorrow unless someone beats me to it (that includes you Walter).  If anyone else wants to do it, speak up to avoid duplication of effort.
