As an aside, C* for some reason heavily uses asserts in unit tests,
which adds to the "can't see the forest for the trees" problem. I see no

Unfortunatly, the code change and we can miss things.
If anybody think that some SPECIFIC assertions should be replaced by some
real checks, I think the best way to do it is to open a JIRA ticket to
raise the problem.
