/**
* Make an assertion that `x` is of type `never`.
* If not then throw.
*
* @experimental **UNSTABLE**: New API, yet to be vetted.
*
* @example Exhaustivenss check
* ```ts
* import { assertNever } from "@std/assert/unstable-never";
*
* type Kinds = "A" | "B";
*
* function handleKind(kind: Kinds) {
* switch (kind) {
* case "A":
* doA();
* break;
* case "B":
* doB();
* break;
* default:
* assertNever(kind);
* }
* }
*
* function doA() {
* // ...
* }
*
* function doB() {
* // ...
* }
* ```
*
* @example Compile-time error when there is a missing case
* ```ts expect-error ignore
* import { assertNever } from "@std/assert/unstable-never";
*
* type Kinds = "A" | "B" | "C";
*
* function handleKind(kind: Kinds) {
* switch (kind) {
* case "A":
* doA();
* break;
* case "B":
* doB();
* break;
* default:
* // Type error since "C" is not handled
* assertNever(kind);
* }
* }
*
* function doA() {
* // ...
* }
*
* function doB() {
* // ...
* }
* ```
*
* @param x The value to be checked as never
* @param msg The optional message to display if the assertion fails.
* @returns Never returns, always throws.
* @throws {AssertionError}
