For some reason, AssertError is missing a toString() definition, instead defining its own print() method.  This means that the following program just prints "Object", rather than giving a description of the error.

Consistency is lost, and it becomes impossible to display the error by some other means, and hence to easily pinpoint assert errors in Windows GUI apps.

Moreover, why is AssertError descended straight from Object, and not from Exception or Error?

import std.c.stdio;

int main() {
	try {
		assert (false);
	} catch (Object e) {
		puts(e.toString());
	}

	return 0;
}
