These assertions are currently macros (yuck!) and must appear in function definitions (only)

pending standard committee decisions on contracts and assertion syntax.
See [the contract proposal](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0380r1.pdf); using the attribute syntax,
for example, `Expects(p!=nullptr)` will become `[[expects: p!=nullptr]]`.

* *regular expression*: a notation for patterns in character strings.
* *regular*: a type that behaves similarly to built-in types like `int` and can be compared with `==`.
In particular, an object of a regular type can be copied and the result of a copy is a separate object that compares equal to the original. See also *semiregular type*.
