Greetings,

We don’t have anything like MOZ_ASSERT() in Java land, so I added an “Assert” 
class[1]. Just like MOZ_ASSERT() in C++ land, these assertions are only active 
in debug mode. Hopefully we can use these to catch some bad stuff.

I think this is a good thing, thanks for doing it!  Is there a reason we didn't 
just use Java's assert mechanism [1], and enable/disable checking at compile 
time with MOZ_DEBUG and friends?

Best,
Nick

That was my first thought as well, but apparently those are only triggered if 
you set a property on the device, which is less than ideal. More here:

Well, isn't that special.  As you were!
