Does anyone else see this as perverse?  I have to think hard about
whether all the compilers are smart enough to optimize this away
(probably, but maybe not).  More importantly, it is obfuscated C and
makes my stomach churn.  This particular case introduces several lines
for an assertion that is probably not worth the surrounding mess.  Does
anyone have a better way?
