assert: confusion between JS strict mode and assert strict mode #30485
Description
Hi maintainers,
I was just going through the docs of the assert module and was confused with the whole idea of strict mode there. It'd great if someone can give a brief idea behind the way it is implemented now and the reasoning behind it.
PS: I literally tried adding "use strict"; hoping it'd be picked up.

The assert
strict modeis completely independent from the JavaScript strict mode ("use strict").Using assert's strict mode means e.g.
assert.equal()to behave identical toassert.strictEqual().BridgeAR commentedon Nov 14, 2019
If you have a recommendation to improve the documentation, please open a PR for that :)
