This test file as a whole would go away if we change the treatment of
`assert(staticTrue)` to make it a compile-time error for the declaration of
C.bc01.

Next iteration: We keep `assert(staticTrue)` as a static warning and not an
error. When reaching this point, however, the failure might not be an
`AssertionError` (it's misleading, so I'm proposing to make it some other
error).

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2017/07/04 09:42:17]

I was actually expecting this to be a type error. I can see that I failed to
make it one.

Asserts are only enabled in checked mode, and the problem is that the value is
not a bool.
If I fix the spec, then this will properly throw in checked mode. 

I don't know if that's exactly what the VM does, but it should be possible to
fix.
