Does that mean we're going to get pretty asserts through ast transforms? As
in:

    assert obj.froddle() == "baz"

gets transformed into like (or at least functionally equivalent to):

result = object.froddle()
expected = "baz"
assert result == expected, "%s != %s" % (result, expected)

If so, that's fantastic! The same thought crossed my mind to implement that
with ast transforms, but I don't have enough ast-fu to implement it.
