Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it.

Not at the moment I'm afraid.

I think it should be possible to implement a hook that transforms the AST,
which our rewriter would then call. I think, with this hook in place, you
would be able to rewrite assert statements into a function call of your
plugin, which would then be free to do whatever it wanted. If you are
interested, I suggest writing up a proposal in the issue tracker so it can
be discussed.

Cheers,
Bruno
