Get assertion improvement

Now the biggest headache is figuring out where to add spaces...

You could maybe read the file from first token's location to last token's location. When you read text from file, it already comes with spaces in the right places.

Now I remember why this is not possible. Jou's tokens do not contain column numbers, only line numbers. So you don't know where exactly the assert keyword ends and the assertion itself starts.

That's why the old code just reads the whole line and removes the assert word:

    if(!strncmp(str.ptr, "assert",6))
        memmove(str.ptr, &str.ptr[6], strlen(&str.ptr[6]) + 1);

So if the first 6 characters in the string are "assert", it moves the remaining characters (including the special \0 terminator) to start of the string. Not very nice.

Maybe some day Jou's tokens will contain a better location than just line number. Until then, I don't think this can be improved much.

OK, closing.
