Needs identified so far that assertion<>() doesn't meet :

   * Reporting of file and line.
   * Parameterization of exception type.

Perhaps those last two can also be addressed.  Something to work
towards.

   For boost library authors, the first need is perhaps not as great as
   that for a user dotting their own code w/ assertions. Naming and
   describing what constraint was violated is often more useful to a
   library user than receiving a mysterious message about a piece of code
   they have nothing to do w/!
