Failed assertions are a sign of broken programming, not a sign to take a different code path during execution, but a sign that development must go on a little longer :) Definitely, that's not something I ever wanted to imply would be otherwise.

I have updated the RFC, there is a misleading example that I regret putting in, I have cleaned it up. I have put in a section about production time too, to clarify a few things. I hope everything is clear now ... and I hope too that I'm changing minds ... Patrick mentioned something I think is worth bringing up, that's core dumps. We can't do core dumps from Zend, there's no infrastructure to support it, and while it wouldn't require much to get a minimal one going, there is already a platform used to actually debug PHP, and it comes with well tested infrastructure. If certain people were a bit more on board, we could entertain the idea of overriding the opcode handler with xdebug and generating that coredump, or something like a coredump, I'd certainly be willing to put some effort into that and don't know how much of it is already possible with xdebug ... but no pressure, whatever ....
