I would very much like this. I think it solves some problems in the unittest-refactoring area, too, where we have a proliferation of 'assert*' functions that don't get removed by optimization. (Hey, does anyone want to discuss what color THAT bikeshed roof should be some more? ;) In any case, I would still like to be able to test my optimized code by using assert, which isn't possible currently.
