/**
* Helper function for exhaustive checks of discriminated unions.
* https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/docs/types/discriminated-unions.html
*
* @example
*
* type A = {type: 'a'};
* type B = {type: 'b'};
* type Union = A | B;
*
* function doSomething(arg: Union) {
* if (arg.type === 'a') {
* return something;
* }
*
* if (arg.type === 'b') {
* return somethingElse;
* }
*
* // TS will error if there are other types in the union
* // Will throw an Error when called at runtime.
* // Use `assertNever(arg, true)` instead to fail silently.
* return assertNever(arg);
