What does it mean to assert in this context? I assume not the same thing as C's assert macro; is it the EE sense of "pulling a pin high / low"?

I literally meant the library would call assert() on incoming data. I am fairly certain that has been removed for a long time, but it can be hard to get past first impressions.

I misunderstood assert as part of the protocol, i.e. the latter.
