I have a great feature request for those of you who are like me that is sick and tired of those failure assertion that pops up everywhere, but nearly impossible to fix. With a failure assertion exception, we can finally track down where it happens instead of quitting or stuck trying to track it down.

No, if we tried to raise an exception rather than post a dialog, it would almost always simply crash instead of doing anything. The whole point of an assertion failure is that something has gone dreadfully wrong and the app is about to die.
