There's no mechanism for turning such a switch on or off in most
frontend code anyway.  I'd think it could just be assumed to be on
in the frontend implementation --- ie, frontend Asserts would always
be active in --enable-cassert builds.  There's not really any need
to do better until/unless we start having Asserts that impact
performance on the frontend side.
