No one has claimed that assert cannot be made to return on some systems,
yet this is at least the third time that you have responded to some *other*
point as though that claim were being made.  Can you say *strawman*?
Since I previously explicitly pointed this out and yet you ignored it (you
did respond to other parts of my posting, so you did receive it), the only
explanation I can see is bad faith.  While there is plenty of room in the
information groups for disagreement, there is none for bad faith.

This isn't a contest, John.
