If we really want to change it, I think:
   assert B as S
is better because S is the string to report; that is, "if B is false, 
report the problem as the string S".

'else' implies to me what to do if you're not failing the assert, which 
is not the case.

Personally I'm not convinced the syntax is so unusual as it currently 
stands.
