Add missing require

[glasser]

Or is assert magically in Node's globals?

[benjamn]

Ah, yes, it is installed globally by default in Node (like all/most built-in modules, I believe?), but I don't like to rely on that, either.

Are you sure? I think what you're thinking of is something that's specific to the repl.

glasser@glasser-lyrid 8 /tmp $ cat foo.js
assert();
glasser@glasser-lyrid 0 /tmp $ node foo.js

/private/tmp/foo.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { assert();
                                                              ^
