Feature or enhancement

Right now assert generate errors that are hard to read, mostly because they lack context.
Example:

>>> assert 1 == 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AssertionError

Pitch

Let's make them better:

>>> assert 1 == 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    assert 1 == 0
           ^^^^^^
AssertionError

This is a good starting point.

Later this can be enhanced to use more context.
