Good question!
I think that users would use BOOST_ASSERT in their own 'low-level' library
code.
For example, I have an application-level Defect Manager with assertion
facilities, but it is not suited for general purpose low-level functions
(say, generic algorithms) since it requires external linking to the
manager's facilities.
