Assert() often becomes no-op in production build.  I think this may
be an indication that "table-driven" may not be as good an approach
as many candidates thought.  The microproject suggestion asks them
to think _if_ that makes sense, and it is perfectly fine for them if
they answer "no, it introduces more problems than it solves".
