The assumeWontThrow function is useful in contexts where a nothrow function
might want to call some piece of code which is /not/ marked as nothrow even
though it doesn't necessarily throw.

If the called function does throw, assumeWontThrow will promote the exception
into an AssertError, which is an Error derivative and thus allows to be thrown
from nothrow functions.
