(yes, I'm quoting you back from a future message, but my point is
that the compromise breaks code just like the full-blown
deprecation, while leaving very little value behind.)
There are of course other ways, too, including defining a
function that returns its last argument.
Actually, that won't work. Since assert(0) returns void, it is
not a valid function parameter.
But it could also be rewritten as a switch statement. So if the
code is broken, one way or another we'd have to change that
pattern but it is doable, so not the end of the world.
