Comment(by alaric):

 Is it a misuse of assert to have an expression that generates a string as
 the message? I'd argue that this is a useful feature, to dynamically
 generate more informative assertion failure messages :-)

 I have submitted a patch to chicken-hackers that would re-enable this;
 let's see if consensus is that assert needs to have a static string
 argument!
