Intended to be used to augment asserts with helpful error messages.
Example:
assertMsg false "nope"
stderr> error: nope
assert assertMsg ("foo" == "bar") "foo is not bar, silly"; ""
stderr> error: foo is not bar, silly
Type:
assertMsg :: Bool -> String -> Bool

/* Specialized `assertMsg` for checking if val is one of the elements
of a list. Useful for checking enums.
Example:
let sslLibrary = "libressl";
in assertOneOf "sslLibrary" sslLibrary [ "openssl" "bearssl" ]
stderr> error: sslLibrary must be one of [
stderr> "openssl"
stderr> "bearssl"
stderr> ], but is: "libressl"
