Except that asserts are checking for compiler bugs, not

compiler - if they get an assert they should file a bug report
to bugzilla and let us debug the compiler and fix it.
I suggest these assert come with a message explaining this is a
compiler bug, and a link to the bug tracker + useful infos to
include in the bug report in order to lower the barrier to get a
bug report and make it clear to the user that it isn't a problem
in their code with a obtuse error message.
