I do not see why such an assumption should be necessary.
If you are not happy with the expression, because you think that (for
wahtever reasons) it does not fully capture your specific problem
(which you do not clearly describe by the way), you simply modify it.
This has nothing to do with -assert- and its speed as a built-in
command.
Anyway, checking your assumption of integer values only, is just one
additional line away
cap as foo = int(foo) ,f
--
Assert is fun, as always, if only I could assume that the values are
always natural numbers starting at 0.
