The current wording "This module is used for writing unit tests for your
applications, you can access it with require('assert')." implies that
this module should only be used in development while unit testing.
The article "Error Handling in Node.js" by Joyent
(https://www.joyent.com/developers/node/design/errors) uses the assert
module in an efficient way to validate required function arguments.

This fixes a few typographical errors (comma splices and the like) and
clarifies the description of assert.ifError(). It also standardizes the
document on "inequality" rather than having both "inequality" and "non-

This simplifies the stability index to 4 levels:
0 - deprecated
1 - experimental / feature-flagged
2 - stable
3 - locked
Domains has been downgraded to deprecated, assert has been
downgraded to stable. Timers and Module remain locked. All
other APIs are now stable.

The parameter parser specifically looked for the old bracket syntax.
This generated a lot of warnings when building the docs. Those warnings
have been fixed by changing the parsing logic.

Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:
fs.write(fd, data[, position[, encoding]], callback)
This simply fixes all uses of bracket notation in documentation.

It takes an optional "expected exception" argument that is not used meaningfully
but is nevertheless documented. Undocument it, it confuses casual readers of the
documentation.
Fixes#3935.
