The attached patch changes the "assert" macro to prepend the line-number of the failed expression only if a literal string is given as the second argument. A while ago Alaric submitted a different, more general patch that checks at runtime whether a string is given. I prefer this slightly more pragmatic solution, as it keeps the size of the expansion small. Sorry for keeping this pending for so long.
I heartily approve and endorse this patch. Extra points for sneaking in and-let*, a macro I have a secret crush on! I'd never thought it also worked as an "anaphoric when" like that... ABS -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/
