Title:
  Detect tautological asserts

Status in Pyflakes:
  New
Status in “pyflakes” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  An assert of the form:

  assert (x, 'blahblah')

  is tautological, because a non-empty tuple always has a truth value of
  True. However, it is common to mistakenly construct an assert
  statement of this form when attempting to wrap it over multiple lines.
  Python 2.6+ already issues a SyntaxWarning about this, but it would be
  nice if Pyflakes detected it too.
