Personally I like Barry's example just fine -- assuming subdirs is not used later, this feels like a good use case.

Thanks! I thought it was cute. It was just something that occurred to me as I was reviewing some existing code. The intent wasn’t to use subdirs outside of the assert statement, but I’m warm to it because it means I don’t have to do wasted work outside of the assert statement, or repeat myself in the assert message part.
