Comment(by mikolaj):
I still see the problem with Cabal-1.10.1.0 (GHC 6.12.1). It's painful
when you want to use assertions, since they are ignored with
optimizations. The workaround I use is to do "cabal install --disable-
optimization", but the extra option is easy to miss and then the
assertions are useless.
BTW, I'm still wondering why Haskellers apparently don't use assertions
much. I also wonder, whey assertions are disabled by optimizations --- for
some kinds of software, where crashes are acceptable, but wrong answers
are not, I want to keep them even in super optimized release mode
packages.
