Actually, Python does have a way of disabling assertions (the -O

Assertions should not be used as shorthands for "if cond: raise Exc"
in the general case.
I'm claiming, and provided evidence, that there are no use cases for
this in Python, so no-one (of any significance) will suffer when the
disabling is cut out.
In any case, we will probably do it with a __future__ statement for a
transitional period.
