  // Stated as continuous assertions, not inside `when terminal()`. An assert
  // in ANY when-clause is silently ineffective under OpenModelica: the
  // runtime logs the violation, reports "Found event, previous asserts are
  // ignored", and still finishes successfully with a result file, which is
  // the only thing Tests/run.mos inspects. Verified directly: a model whose
  // sole statement is `when terminal() then assert(false, "..."); end when;`
  // exits 0 with a non-empty result file, while the same assert in an
  // equation section exits non-zero. Every assertion in this suite was
  // therefore unable to fail. Continuously is also when these properties are
  // claimed to hold, so nothing is weakened by stating them that way.
