Not arguing that we shouldn't have such an assertion (to catch bugs),
but with 4 bits, that's a height 15 tree. At a minimum fanout of 5.5
per level (with a minimum of 8.5 in the leaf), that's 197 x 10^9 entries.
At a more typical fanout of 8 per level and 12 entries in each leaf, it's
52.8 x 10^12 entries in the tree (about 2^46). You'll run out of memory
and address space first.
