When I first proposed the current syntax of ASSERT, I asked if
anyone wanted to change the syntax to allow the error message to
be evaluated, and no one said yes. I would be perfectly happy
to make that change and regard it as an erratum in the manual.
The current syntax is
(ASSERT test-form [reference*] [format-string] [format-arg*])
The new syntax would be
(ASSERT test-form ([reference*]) [format-string] [format-arg*])
