Actually, a scan of the portage tree reveals that every case where
assert is called there is only one element in the pipeline preceding
(i.e. there is no pipeline).

This means that it would also be an option to change the behavior of
assert instead of adding a new API to portage.  It wouldn't affect any
of the ebuilds currently in the tree.  I think this would be a better
option since right now, assert is essentially the same thing as || die.

:-)  I didn't write that for rewards or self-gratification; I was...
qualifying my intent to write an additional API.
