They are future proof. If there had been assertions from the beginning, there would not have been a breaking change. The tests would have failed. (Sorry, I've used Google Translate to write this sentence). When you write assert, you protect yourself from shooting your leg far in the future. Believe me. -- regards Yura Sokolov aka funny-falcon
