Subject: Changing default assertion mode to throw exceptions
From: levim@php.net (Levi Morrison)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to change the default mode of assertion failures to throw.
The current default is to warn. In my opinion this is a bad strategy:
the engine asserted that something that is expected to be true is not,
so executing further is a bad idea. This leaves throwing or bailing
out. I think throwing an exception is better than bailing out, so
that's what I propose.
