Includes the expression of the condition in the assertion message if
the assertion failed, making assertions much easier to debug. eg.

error: assertion (withPython -> (python2Packages != null)) failed at pkgs/tools/security/nmap/default.nix:11:1

let me guess, overrides did not function because of the assert?
