I think an assert should output its message and then stop all execution.
Asserts should only be used in situations where failures mean the
test programmer made an improper assumption. If we don't halt the moment
we determine the assumption is wrong, then we'll potentially generate
passing test results, but the tests may not be testing what the test
programmer thought they were.
