Just remember such changes are *not* purely mechanical, as you need to 
convince yourself in each case that the expression being asserted has no 
side effects.  So it would be safest to submit those cases where at first 
glance there might be side effects (e.g. cases where the asserted 
expression involves a function call) separately from the purely routine 
cases where there clearly aren't side effects.
