TODO:

Should assert have the message as an argument?

Should assert be a keyword?

int a = 3;
assert a == 3 { panic("error message"); }

Should assert be throwing? if so, should it be a builtin at all, or part of std/assert?

How should type conversions be handled?

Should it be part of the stdlib?

// std/types/int
fn from_str(str val) -> int { ... }
fn from_uint(uint val) -> int { ... }

Should it be implemented as an interface, like Rust? So would interfaces need to be generic? And would interfaces need to be able to be implemented on base types?

interface From<T> {
    fn from(T val) -> Self;
}
impl From<str> for int {
    fn from(str val) -> Self { ... }
}
impl From<uint> for int {
    fn from(uint val) -> Self { ... }
}

Remove assert builtin function 3fd8e46927

I've left all the instances of `assert` being called in the code for now, I'll migrate that over to `std/assert` once we have the documentation for that ready to go.
