Re: [boost] [serialization]: test_diamond partly untested in releasemode.

I looked at test_diamond and see that I used BOOST_ASSERT incorrectly and 
will replace it with BOOST_CHECK.

I don't use BOOST_ASSERT as I could discern no difference between 
BOOST_ASSERT and the standard assert(..) defined in <cassert>

I wonder if the macros from the Boost.Test should be renamed to include the 
word test. EG BOOST_TEST_CHECK.
