Undocummented panics from asserts in code

[piohei]

Hi!
Recently my team updated some library that underneath is using ark-ec. That causes our app to panic because of some malformed input. It let me down to that part of code but I see that pattern (asserts on input) is widely used. Have you considered returning Result instead of just panic? What is your preference here? If you still want to panic it would be nice to document it.
I would be eager to help with changes. :)
