Sure, but the assert happened for a reason which I as a developer am
hoping will be explained a bit by the debug output.  Hence I want to
see the assert message in the context of the debug output.

The whole point of dbgs() is to be able to do a post-mortem on a
crash with a gigantic input and not spew gigabytes of data to the
disk.  So I want to know what triggered the crash as well as what
led up to it.
