Currently, you can error when one of three console methods are called: log, warn, and error. For libraries that are using console.assert to do validation (such as I'm using for parameter validation in this project ), a failed console assertion is an indication of a problem of some kind. Here, I add a new method stub to console to intercept calls to assert, and fail the test only if the assertion fails. This is behind a parameter which defaults to false, so upgrading clients shouldn't be disrupted, and we shouldn't have to bump the major version.
