     Intended to be used to augment asserts with helpful error messages.

     Example:

       stderr> error: nope

       assert assertMsg ("foo" == "bar") "foo is not bar, silly"; ""
       stderr> error: foo is not bar, silly

    pred || builtins.throw msg;

  /* 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"
