--[[
	various intuitive assertions that
		- avoid garbage generation upon success,
		- build nice formatted error messages
		- post one level above the call site by default
		- return their first argument so they can be used inline

	default call is builtin global assert

	can call nop() to dummy out everything for "release mode"
