Ok, that's true.

But you didn't mention this use case in your previous post.

Anyway isn't it sufficient to roll your own specialized "assert" to be 
used in your code?

-----------------------------------------------
local function new_assert( condition, err )
  if not condition then
      if type( err ) == 'function' then
         assert( false, err() )
      else
         assert( false, err )
      end
  end
end
