 I agree, but...

 The only way to make it completely consistent is for BOOST_ASSERT_MSG to
 be implemented in terms of assert.

 {{{
 #define NDEBUG
 #include <boost/assert.hpp>
 #undef NDEBUG
 #include <cassert>
 }}}

 (I actually favor implementing BOOST_ASSERT_MSG using assert anyway, as I
 rather dislike the fact that boost/assert.hpp #includes <iostream>)
