  /**
   * ### .include(val[, msg])
   *
   * When the target is a string, `.include` asserts that the given string `val`
   * is a substring of the target.
   *
   *     expect('foobar').to.include('foo');
   *
   * When the target is an array, `.include` asserts that the given `val` is a
   * member of the target.
   *
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.include(2);
   *
   * When the target is an object, `.include` asserts that the given object
   * `val`'s properties are a subset of the target's properties.
   *
   *     expect({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}).to.include({a: 1, b: 2});
   *
   * When the target is a Set or WeakSet, `.include` asserts that the given `val` is a
   * member of the target. SameValueZero equality algorithm is used.
   *
   *     expect(new Set([1, 2])).to.include(2);
   *
   * When the target is a Map, `.include` asserts that the given `val` is one of
   * the values of the target. SameValueZero equality algorithm is used.
   *
   *     expect(new Map([['a', 1], ['b', 2]])).to.include(2);
   *
   * Because `.include` does different things based on the target's type, it's
   * important to check the target's type before using `.include`. See the `.a`
   * doc for info on testing a target's type.
   *
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.be.an('array').that.includes(2);
   *
   * By default, strict (`===`) equality is used to compare array members and
   * object properties. Add `.deep` earlier in the chain to use deep equality
   * instead (WeakSet targets are not supported). See the `deep-eql` project
   * page for info on the deep equality algorithm: https://github.com/chaijs/deep-eql.
   *
   *     // Target array deeply (but not strictly) includes `{a: 1}`
   *     expect([{a: 1}]).to.deep.include({a: 1});
   *     expect([{a: 1}]).to.not.include({a: 1});
   *
   *     // Target object deeply (but not strictly) includes `x: {a: 1}`
   *     expect({x: {a: 1}}).to.deep.include({x: {a: 1}});
   *     expect({x: {a: 1}}).to.not.include({x: {a: 1}});
   *
   * By default, all of the target's properties are searched when working with
   * objects. This includes properties that are inherited and/or non-enumerable.
   * Add `.own` earlier in the chain to exclude the target's inherited
   * properties from the search.
   *
   *     Object.prototype.b = 2;
   *
   *     expect({a: 1}).to.own.include({a: 1});
   *     expect({a: 1}).to.include({b: 2}).but.not.own.include({b: 2});
   *
   * Note that a target object is always only searched for `val`'s own
   * enumerable properties.
   *
   * `.deep` and `.own` can be combined.
   *
   *     expect({a: {b: 2}}).to.deep.own.include({a: {b: 2}});
   *
   * Add `.nested` earlier in the chain to enable dot- and bracket-notation when
   * referencing nested properties.
   *
   *     expect({a: {b: ['x', 'y']}}).to.nested.include({'a.b[1]': 'y'});
   *
   * If `.` or `[]` are part of an actual property name, they can be escaped by
   * adding two backslashes before them.
   *
   *     expect({'.a': {'[b]': 2}}).to.nested.include({'\\.a.\\[b\\]': 2});
   *
   * `.deep` and `.nested` can be combined.
   *
   *     expect({a: {b: [{c: 3}]}}).to.deep.nested.include({'a.b[0]': {c: 3}});
   *
   * `.own` and `.nested` cannot be combined.
   *
   * Add `.not` earlier in the chain to negate `.include`.
   *
   *     expect('foobar').to.not.include('taco');
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.not.include(4);
   *
   * However, it's dangerous to negate `.include` when the target is an object.
   * The problem is that it creates uncertain expectations by asserting that the
   * target object doesn't have all of `val`'s key/value pairs but may or may
   * not have some of them. It's often best to identify the exact output that's
   * expected, and then write an assertion that only accepts that exact output.
   *
   * When the target object isn't even expected to have `val`'s keys, it's
   * often best to assert exactly that.
   *
   *     expect({c: 3}).to.not.have.any.keys('a', 'b'); // Recommended
   *     expect({c: 3}).to.not.include({a: 1, b: 2}); // Not recommended
   *
   * When the target object is expected to have `val`'s keys, it's often best to
   * assert that each of the properties has its expected value, rather than
   * asserting that each property doesn't have one of many unexpected values.
   *
   *     expect({a: 3, b: 4}).to.include({a: 3, b: 4}); // Recommended
   *     expect({a: 3, b: 4}).to.not.include({a: 1, b: 2}); // Not recommended
   *
   * `.include` accepts an optional `msg` argument which is a custom error
   * message to show when the assertion fails. The message can also be given as
   * the second argument to `expect`.
   *
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.include(4, 'nooo why fail??');
   *     expect([1, 2, 3], 'nooo why fail??').to.include(4);
   *
   * `.include` can also be used as a language chain, causing all `.members` and
   * `.keys` assertions that follow in the chain to require the target to be a
   * superset of the expected set, rather than an identical set. Note that
   * `.members` ignores duplicates in the subset when `.include` is added.
   *
   *     // Target object's keys are a superset of ['a', 'b'] but not identical
   *     expect({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}).to.include.all.keys('a', 'b');
   *     expect({a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}).to.not.have.all.keys('a', 'b');
   *
   *     // Target array is a superset of [1, 2] but not identical
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.include.members([1, 2]);
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.not.have.members([1, 2]);
   *
   *     // Duplicates in the subset are ignored
   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.include.members([1, 2, 2, 2]);
   *
   * Note that adding `.any` earlier in the chain causes the `.keys` assertion
   * to ignore `.include`.
   *
   *     // Both assertions are identical
   *     expect({a: 1}).to.include.any.keys('a', 'b');
   *     expect({a: 1}).to.have.any.keys('a', 'b');

   * does have a property with the given key `name` but its value isn't equal to

  /**
   * ### .throw([errorLike], [errMsgMatcher], [msg])
   *
   * When no arguments are provided, `.throw` invokes the target function and
   * asserts that an error is thrown.
   *
   *     var badFn = function () { throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!'); };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw();
   *
   * When one argument is provided, and it's an error constructor, `.throw`
   * invokes the target function and asserts that an error is thrown that's an
   * instance of that error constructor.
   *
   *     var badFn = function () { throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!'); };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(TypeError);
   *
   * When one argument is provided, and it's an error instance, `.throw` invokes
   * the target function and asserts that an error is thrown that's strictly
   * (`===`) equal to that error instance.
   *
   *     var err = new TypeError('Illegal salmon!');
   *     var badFn = function () { throw err; };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(err);
   *
   * When one argument is provided, and it's a string, `.throw` invokes the
   * target function and asserts that an error is thrown with a message that
   * contains that string.
   *
   *     var badFn = function () { throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!'); };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw('salmon');
   *
   * When one argument is provided, and it's a regular expression, `.throw`
   * invokes the target function and asserts that an error is thrown with a
   * message that matches that regular expression.
   *
   *     var badFn = function () { throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!'); };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(/salmon/);
   *
   * When two arguments are provided, and the first is an error instance or
   * constructor, and the second is a string or regular expression, `.throw`
   * invokes the function and asserts that an error is thrown that fulfills both
   * conditions as described above.
   *
   *     var err = new TypeError('Illegal salmon!');
   *     var badFn = function () { throw err; };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(TypeError, 'salmon');
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(TypeError, /salmon/);
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(err, 'salmon');
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(err, /salmon/);
   *
   * Add `.not` earlier in the chain to negate `.throw`.
   *
   *     var goodFn = function () {};
   *
   *     expect(goodFn).to.not.throw();
   *
   * However, it's dangerous to negate `.throw` when providing any arguments.
   * The problem is that it creates uncertain expectations by asserting that the
   * target either doesn't throw an error, or that it throws an error but of a
   * different type than the given type, or that it throws an error of the given
   * type but with a message that doesn't include the given string. It's often
   * best to identify the exact output that's expected, and then write an
   * assertion that only accepts that exact output.
   *
   * When the target isn't expected to throw an error, it's often best to assert
   * exactly that.
   *
   *     var goodFn = function () {};
   *
   *     expect(goodFn).to.not.throw(); // Recommended
   *     expect(goodFn).to.not.throw(ReferenceError, 'x'); // Not recommended
   *
   * When the target is expected to throw an error, it's often best to assert
   * that the error is of its expected type, and has a message that includes an
   * expected string, rather than asserting that it doesn't have one of many
   * unexpected types, and doesn't have a message that includes some string.
   *
   *     var badFn = function () { throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!'); };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(TypeError, 'salmon'); // Recommended
   *     expect(badFn).to.not.throw(ReferenceError, 'x'); // Not recommended
   *
   * `.throw` changes the target of any assertions that follow in the chain to
   * be the error object that's thrown.
   *
   *     var err = new TypeError('Illegal salmon!');
   *     err.code = 42;
   *     var badFn = function () { throw err; };
   *
   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(TypeError).with.property('code', 42);
   *
   * `.throw` accepts an optional `msg` argument which is a custom error message
   * to show when the assertion fails. The message can also be given as the
   * second argument to `expect`. When not providing two arguments, always use
   * the second form.
   *
   *     var goodFn = function () {};
   *
   *     expect(goodFn).to.throw(TypeError, 'x', 'nooo why fail??');
   *     expect(goodFn, 'nooo why fail??').to.throw();
   *
   * Due to limitations in ES5, `.throw` may not always work as expected when
   * using a transpiler such as Babel or TypeScript. In particular, it may
   * produce unexpected results when subclassing the built-in `Error` object and
   * then passing the subclassed constructor to `.throw`. See your transpiler's
   * docs for details:
   *
   * - ([Babel](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/caveats/#classes))
   * - ([TypeScript](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Breaking-Changes#extending-built-ins-like-error-array-and-map-may-no-longer-work))
   *
   * Beware of some common mistakes when using the `throw` assertion. One common
   * mistake is to accidentally invoke the function yourself instead of letting
   * the `throw` assertion invoke the function for you. For example, when
   * testing if a function named `fn` throws, provide `fn` instead of `fn()` as
   * the target for the assertion.
   *
   *     expect(fn).to.throw();     // Good! Tests `fn` as desired
   *     expect(fn()).to.throw();   // Bad! Tests result of `fn()`, not `fn`
   *
   * If you need to assert that your function `fn` throws when passed certain
   * arguments, then wrap a call to `fn` inside of another function.
   *
   *     expect(function () { fn(42); }).to.throw();  // Function expression
   *     expect(() => fn(42)).to.throw();             // ES6 arrow function
   *
   * Another common mistake is to provide an object method (or any stand-alone
   * function that relies on `this`) as the target of the assertion. Doing so is
   * problematic because the `this` context will be lost when the function is
   * invoked by `.throw`; there's no way for it to know what `this` is supposed
   * to be. There are two ways around this problem. One solution is to wrap the
   * method or function call inside of another function. Another solution is to
   * use `bind`.
   *
   *     expect(function () { cat.meow(); }).to.throw();  // Function expression
   *     expect(() => cat.meow()).to.throw();             // ES6 arrow function
   *     expect(cat.meow.bind(cat)).to.throw();           // Bind
   *
   * Finally, it's worth mentioning that it's a best practice in JavaScript to
   * only throw `Error` and derivatives of `Error` such as `ReferenceError`,
   * `TypeError`, and user-defined objects that extend `Error`. No other type of
   * value will generate a stack trace when initialized. With that said, the
   * `throw` assertion does technically support any type of value being thrown,
   * not just `Error` and its derivatives.
   *
   * The aliases `.throws` and `.Throw` can be used interchangeably with
   * `.throw`.
