The assumeWontThrow function is useful in contexts where a nothrow function might want to call some piece of code which is /not/ marked as nothrow even though it doesn't necessarily throw.
If the called function does throw, assumeWontThrow will promote the exception into an AssertError, which is an Error derivative and thus allows to be thrown from nothrow functions.
