I believe the only debate was whether aborting in release code was a
desirable feature...
But surely there is no arguement that an assert() should abort in debug code.

and in this case, the whole endeavour was not to remove the assert
(i.e abort() ) in debug code, but rather to avoid memory overflow bug
in release code, by sanitizing the consequence of a mis-use of the API
that make it to release code...
