Not all CLI options are supported, those that are problematic from a
security or implementation point of view are disallowed, as are ones
that are inappropriate (for example, -e, -p, --i), or that only make
sense when changed with code changes (such as options that change the
javascript syntax or add new APIs).

assert.fail() has two possible function signatures, both of which are
not intuitive. It virtually guarantees that people who try to use
assert.fail() without carefully reading the docs will end up using it
incorrectly.
This change maintains backwards compatibility with the two valid uses
(arguments 1 2 and 4 supplied but argument 3 falsy, and argument 3
supplied but arguments 1 2 and 4 all falsy) but also adds the far more
intuitive first-argument-only and first-two-arguments-only
possibilities.
assert.fail('boom');
// AssertionError: boom
assert.fail('a', 'b');
// AssertionError: 'a' != 'b'
