Hi everybody!

As of PHP 7.2.0 calling assert() with a string argument has been
deprecated[1]. However, it seems that ASSERT_QUIET_EVAL /
assert.quiet_eval is supposed to only work as documented, if a string
argument is passed[2]. If that is indeed the case, wouldn't it make
sense to deprecate the usage of this flag / ini setting as well?

Yes.

For what it’s worth, I’m expecting the asset_options function to be
deprecated entirely eventually and am working on a patch for Drupal to
address this
