Does this mean that assertions used for optimization will be left in -release? There's plenty of times where I've had an old incorrect assertion in my code after a refactoring - sometimes in seldom used paths. If the compiler would aggressively optimize my code based on some wrong assumptions I give it, it would be very useful if that assumption would stay in the code to trigger an assertion.
