Removing the two purposes (moving them to specialized and explicit features,

I want to stress the fact that moving those two unrelated sub-features away
from assert into specialized features is not going to increase the language
complexity, because those features are _already_ present and programmers need
to remember them already. But currently they are hidden, half-invisible, and
they interact badly with other things. So moving them into explicit little
features makes the language more explicit, more readable and helps to remove
warts, it doesn't make the language more complex (it may just increase
front-end compiler complexity a bit).
