Idiom #123 Assert condition

Verify that predicate isConsistent returns true, otherwise report assertion violation.
Explain if the assertion is executed even in production environment or not.

assert(isConsistent);

Needs to be executed with "--enable-asserts" flag with dart and dart2js commands.
In Flutter it will execute only in debug mode.
dartdevc (development compiler) will execute it by default.
#include <assert.h>
assert(isConsistent());

If NDEBUG is defined, the assert macro becomes void. Therefore, such expressions must not have side effects.
