For some strange reason, assert on an object reference checks that the 
invariants are satisfied instead of that the reference isn't null. 
There's nothing to this effect in the spec, so I don't know how it came 
about.  While it may be useful, it certainly shouldn't do it _instead 
of_ checking it isn't null.
