One suggestion: replace -release=assert with -release=body, so
in the above, you would have:
-release=body,in,out,invariant
... which has the nice intuitive property of specifying _which
bits of code_ release criteria will be applied to.
In other words, -release=body would result in asserts being
removed from function bodies _and only there_. That would
make clearer that we're not removing asserts from e.g.
unittests (or indeed contracts or invariants).
Agreed that looks good +1
What would be the appropriate way to follow up on that idea? The
last I saw DIP 1006 was undergoing formal review, but the end of
that period seems to have passed with no further follow-up.
I could always write up an alternative DIP, but I don't know if
that would be the most constructive way forward.
