Maybe the terminology is strange, since I probably first saw the
concept of quoting in my Lisp days.  There is an expression which we
don't wish to evaluate, so we 'quote' it and evaluate  it later, in a
lazy fashion. In Lua, x+1 can be quoted as 'x+1' or function() return
x+1 end, etc (there are a number of ways)

Your approach solves the problem neatly by making the post-assert
phase do all the hard work, which is appropriate.
