I work on a massive codebase, 3m loc, the ability to document that we throw SomeAssertionException in *insert circumstance* is extremely appealing. It would allow us to structure the documentation and the code in a way that really makes sense especially for new developers. The alternatives are not nice, in my opinion. It's not about runtime, and the ability to catch specific exceptions by name, at all, there shouldn't be any catch blocks for AssertionExceptions in deployed code.
