That doesn't seem very useful: for that assert to fail, `flag` would have to be falsey, and if falsey, then surely the log of it is not helpful?

Unless complex_expression produces an object that has useful information when Falsey.

But it’s a toy example that I think makes the point well that there may be a good use of := in an assert.

In fact, it’s my impression (and we’ll see how it works out) that the walrus operator is best used in a “local” manner such as this— if the assignment is important later in the code, it may be better to stick with regular assignment anyway.
