One thing that might also help there, is the fact that once an 
unidentified identifier is encountered in an assert expression 
and that same identifier is found on that separate list of things 
we've been keeping, then we know that the current assert 
expression can only end up either being an "unidentified 
identifier" error or being compiled out of existence, but it 
can't end up being turned into an assert(0).
