Summary: Support the use of Assert Edit
Initial Comment:
It would be nice if the use of the Assert Edit[1] extension was supported by the framework, Because for the wikis it is depolyed on (All WMF wikis) it would prevent bots from editing unlogged inif they choose to have it assert its edits.

Message:
Now implemented in the rewrite branch only; using assert=user rather than
assert=bot because some wikis may permit use of the framework without a bot
flag.  Probably this should be configurable on a per-wiki basis, but it's a
start.

Message:
Time? all the asserting does is add something like "&assert=bot" to the end
of the address and it returns to the bot interface if it has the right or
not, and it should check every edit.

What checking period does the BAG propose? Every start? Every five minutes?
Every hour? Every edit, every 10, every 100?
