Oh, definitely for the best. This now allows us to write complex
assertions much more easily and efficiently:
assert log(flag := complex_expression) or flag
That doesn't seem very useful: for that assert to fail, `flag` would have to be
falsey, and if falsey, then surely the log of it is not helpful?
You’ve never had some rare code path that’s missing a return, and wasted half
an hour trying to figure out how you could possibly be getting 0 out of that
calculation before realizing you’re actually getting None?

Point taken.
