What semantics would this "validate" statement have, and how would it be
different from what we can write now?
if not condition: raise SomeException(message)
validate condition, SomeException, message
# or some other name
Unless it does something better than a simple "if ... raise", there's
not much point in adding a keyword just to save a few keystrokes.
To justify a keyword, it needs to do something special that a built-in
function can't do, like delayed evaluation (without wrapping the
expression in a function).
