Hello

There is a significant issue - new reserved keyword. There is high
probability so lot of users has a functions named "assert".

I like this functionality, but I dislike any compatibility break for
feature, that can be implemented as extension without any lost of
compatibility or lost of functionality.

So can you redesign this without new keyword?


Regards

Pavel
