An assertion is impossible to miss, acts as self-documentation and it
is not a performance critical path. A note at the top of the function
could be easily missed. I don't see why the note needs to mention the
case of a concurrent drop. So let's just keep the runtime check, then
drop the note, finally call it a day.
