The link is an article by Jack Ganssle about using the assert() feature in C 
programming. I am not advocating we consider these in Forth but thought 
others might like to see what they do in another language to try and produce 
correct software.

The Forth philosophy of "Crash Hard, Crash often" during development is I 
think much better but we also need to ensure that the code is inspected for 
the quieter systematic problems that can creep in.
