It gives the file/line, which is not useless:

1. editors, IDEs, etc., can take you right to the source code of the error

2. assert checks can add a great deal of bloat to the executable - the current
implementation tries to minimize that. Adding expression strings to all of them
will dramatically increase the size of an executable

I just do not understand why file/line is not sufficient.
