I think Walter sometimes suggested that it would be valid for a

I think this is reasonable in general but as long as assert
throws Error and assert is encouraged to be used in unittest
blocks such implementation would mark compiler as unusable for me.
We may need to have another look at what is truly an Error and
what is not before going that path.
