[Interest] Continued past failed assertions with MSVC

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Thiago,

I rarely use Ignore - usually, I would temporarily comment out the 
assertion and rerun.

What I find much more annoying is that after clicking Retry and 
debugging the environment, I cannot then ignore the error - rewind the 
stack back to the asserting routine and continue from the next statement 
- I use Visual Studio.  A quick google shows some workarounds, I'll 
investigate those.
