+ <code>let assert</code> is the final way to intentionally crash your Gleam
+ program. It is similar to the <code>panic</code> keyword in that it crashes
+ when the program has reached a point that should never be reached.

+ <code>let assert</code> is similar to <code>let</code> in that it is a way to
+ assign values to variables, but it is different in that the pattern can be
+ <i>partial</i>. The pattern does not need to match every possible value of the
+ type being assigned.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Like <code>panic</code> this feature should be used sparingly, and likely not
+ at all in libraries.
