* Helper function for exhaustive checks of discriminated unions.

* type Union = A | B;
*
* function doSomething(arg: Union) {
* if (arg.type === 'a') {

* return somethingElse;

* // Will throw an Error when called at runtime.
* // Use `assertNever(arg, true)` instead to fail silently.
* return assertNever(arg);
