I receive a few mails with comments, but nobody wrote me telling that he had actually tried the patch or looked at the implementation. I think that it is a pity that the idea ends in nowhere, because for large projects, assertions are a very helpful tool to find bugs and improve the quality of the software. And then there is the interaction with the debugger that is really cool. Well, I just would like to ask you again to take a look at the patch and send back your comments.
