The goal here is to reduce potential confusion between `assert_type(val, type)` and `assert isinstance(val, typ)`. The former is meant to ask a type checker to confirm a fact, the latter is meant to tell a type checker a fact. The behaviour of the latter more closely resembles what I'd expect from the prior phrasing of "assert [something] to the type checker".
