-- @module _G

--- Asserts that value *v* is not `false` or `nil` and returns *v*, or calls `error()` with
-- *message* as the error message, defaulting to "assertion failed!".
-- If *message* is a format string, the remaining arguments are passed to `string.format()`
-- and the resulting string becomes the error message.
-- @param v Value to assert.
-- @param[opt='assertion failed!'] message Optional error message to show on error.
-- @param[optchain] ... If *message* is a format string, these arguments are passed to
--	`string.format()`.

--- Asserts that value *v* has type string *expected_type* and returns *v*, or calls `error()`
-- with an error message that implicates function argument number *narg*.
-- This is intended to be used with API function arguments so users receive more helpful error
-- messages.
-- @param v Value to assert the type of.
-- @param expected_type String type to assert. It may be a non-letter-delimited list of type
--	options.
-- @param narg The positional argument number *v* is associated with. This is not required to
--	be a number.
-- @usage assert_type(filename, 'string/nil', 1)
-- @usage assert_type(option.setting, 'number', 'setting') -- implicates key
