assert() is not new feature, but this RFC is for improving it.
Current assert() will call NULL function at run time. Therefore, there
would be overheads that cannot be ignored when assert() is used
extensively. With this RFC, run time overheads are removed.
I agree that this RFC would change the way script is coded.
Assertion can be used for DbC, but it's up to users if they use it for DbC
or not.
No existing code is affected in any way.
