My thought is that it's easier to guess quickly what went wrong from an
assertion report if the function name is in there. For example, if I send
out a version of my program for testing, and wire up assertions so that they
are reported to the end user, it's more likely that I can just figure out
what's wrong if the function name is included in the message.
That's all, nothing subtle.
