That's roughly what I wrote was thinking, yes.

We haven't heard if it will go in at all, though:-) If this ITS
is a reaction to ITS#7774, then the motivation is not catching
an lmdb bug, but letting the user band-aid a user error.  Still
makes sense to me, lmdb lets the user screw up in many ways.

Anyway:

Why drop the info parameter?  If you don't need it after all,
that's fine.  But then it won't be coming back later.  It
doesn't fit in the varargs, they're reserved for the message.

I ended up declaring a type for it in ldmb.h, to make future
expansion a bit friendlier:
  /** Dummy definition for future extension of #mdb_assert_cb(). */
  typedef struct MDB_assertion MDB_assertion;

I dislike when a feature makes me #include <stdarg.h>, so I'd
not make one myself.  I'd build the message in a buffer.  Also
the code needs fleshing out a bit: Obey NDEBUG, and omit all
this if something already #defined assert.  See below.

Finally, __func__ needs a wrapper.  It can go in a renamed
"compat" section:

Google found more compiler #ifdefs, but I'm not sure which of
these are still relevant as non-C99 compilers.  Could add them
later at need:
