/**
 * A convenience assertion utility, typically used to validate
 * pre-conditions of a routine.
 *
 * **Advanced**: verify.prefix(msgPrefix) returns a higher-order
 *               verify() function where all messages are prefixed.
 *
 * @param {truthy} condition - a "truthy" condition which
 * must be satisfied.
 *
 * @param {string} msg - a message clarifying the condition being
 * checked.
 * 
 * @throws {Error} an Error is thrown when the supplied condition is
 * NOT met.
 * 
 * @private
