And? Not that it'll make a huge difference, but GetNewOidWithIndex() is
a relatively hot-path in some workloads (e.g. with lots of toasted
data), so it actually can make a difference. And for debugging asserts
are often actually more useful, because you get a backtrace.

I'm not sure what you're actually concerned about here?
