I left it there because assert_enabled and ExceptionalCondition should
never be required in a frontend environment. Wasn't sure about that one,
so moving it is absolutely fine with me.

I think there exists precedent for both spellings, don't really about
which one we use here.

One other thing I didn't think of, if youre at it agan, what about
changing the #ifndef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING definition of
#define Assert(condition)
into
#define Assert(condition) ((void)true)

That makes for fewer warnings on some pedantic compiler modes and is in
line with C's assert() IIRC.
