As far as I could tell, the generated code wasn't incorrect,
it was merely slower.  I didn't measure the performance, but
the generated code did look worse (I could have been mistaken
of course).

Have you measured the user-visible performance of Emacs when
it internally uses eassume rather than eassert?  Is there
a significant performance improvement?  If not, perhaps we
should omit eassume, as not being worth the trouble.
