The endifs are just visually nicer, but I think there is a more valid
complaint with removing the three-arg calls to assert just because
Matlab doesn't support them. The three-arg calls to assert produce
better diagnostic output when the assert fails. I should note that
Julien rewrote some of your asserts which were originally three-arg to
become single-arg asserts. This really is what I wonder if it should
stay that way or not.
