Hm, asserts will happen quite a bit during development. Especially for a 
newbie starting to experiment with wxWidgets, when the app inexplicably 
hangs when something goes wrong (it's easy to pass the wrong index to 
something, for example) then this is quite a distressing experience. 
However if the situation can be improved before 2.8, then great.
