lcampagn:

I have a unit test that passes when run with assert=plain or reinterp, but fails with rewrite. I also looked over #435, but I believe this is a separate issue. The offending test is attached. It works by writing a module to be imported, then re-writing, reloading it, and testing that the reload worked as expected.

I imagine there might be no sane way to fix this bug. If that is the case, then is there a way to disable assertion rewriting on a per-module basis? I was a bit surprised to find that adding messages to the assert statements did not fix the problem.
