It fails, just as BOOST_ASSERT does. The only difference is that the 
expression is evaluated.

There wasn't any demand, I guess. I can rationalize its absence as follows: 
if the side effects of the expression are significant, one probably doesn't 
feel a need to add a message, as the expression itself is descriptive 
enough.
