Startup option to turn off @assert

You can hand over arbitrary command line options after --:

> julia -e 'println(@static isempty(Base.ARGS) ? "performance" : "test")'
performance

> julia -e 'println(@static isempty(Base.ARGS) ? "performance" : "test")' -- --my-custom-option
test

Obviously, you would use a more robust check than this and do something else in your code than providing the code directly and only doing conditional printing.
