I'm not sure if this is a spec bug, a compiler bug, or both.

   debug static assert(0);
dmd -debug gives error as expected
dmd -debug=0 gives no error as expected
dmd -debug=2 gives error NOT expected
dmd -debug=me gives no error (as expected?)

The spec says that -debug enables this.  Actually, should the spec be saying anything about a compiler flag??

One argument is that debug with no condition should be enabled by any debug level no matter what.  Then there's no need to mention a -debug flag in the spec.


   debug (0) static assert(0);
dmd -debug=0 gives error as expected
dmd -debug gives error NOT expected
dmd -debug=me gives error NOT expected

Again, it's debatable what should happen with -debug.  But -debug=me should definitely not give an error here according to the spec.
