For most C headers, it's necessary to use the C++ version, <cxxx>, because
then you don't get identifiers intruding on the global namespace; they stay
in namespace std.

But <assert.h> defines only a macro, so there's no difference between
<cassert> and <assert.h> except that some platforms lack an <assert.h>.

That's why Peter (and then I) used <assert.h>.
