But if we do that, then assume() starts to sound more and more like

I see that my posts are starting to work :-)
I don't think we are arguing for the addition of assume, we are
arguing about the redefinition of assert to act like assume in
-release.
Yes, I think what he fails to appreciate is that he is arguing for the
introduction of 'assume' in -release mode as a stealth operation by
redefining the conventional meaning of 'assert', and that arguing
against the introduction of 'assume' because it is redundant with the
new 'assert' is not relevant.
