+ Define a pair of assertion macros.
+
+ These work like the regular C assert(), in that they will abort the
+ process with a message on stderr if the given condition fails to hold,
+ but compile away to nothing if NDEBUG is defined.
+
+ However, before aborting, Python will also try to call _PyObject_Dump() on
+ the given object. This may be of use when investigating bugs in which a
+ particular object is corrupt (e.g. buggy a tp_visit method in an extension
+ module breaking the garbage collector), to help locate the broken objects.
+
+ The WITH_MSG variant allows you to supply an additional message that Python
+ will attempt to print to stderr, after the object dump.
