Same misunderstanding all over again. Please understand that 
breaking code is the worst thing.

(yes, I'm quoting you back from a future message, but my point is 
that the compromise breaks code just like the full-blown 
deprecation, while leaving very little value behind.)

Actually, that won't work. Since assert(0) returns void, it is 
not a valid function parameter.

But it could also be rewritten as a switch statement. So if the 
code is broken, one way or another we'd have to change that 
pattern but it is doable, so not the end of the world.
