+   * 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

+   *
+   *     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);

+   * 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.

+   *     expect({x: {a: 1}}).to.not.include({x: {a: 1}});
+   *
+   * By default, all of the target's properties are searched when working with

+   * Add `.own` earlier in the chain to exclude the target's inherited
+   * properties from the search.

+   *     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});

+   *     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');

+   *     expect([1, 2, 3]).to.include.members([1, 2, 2, 2]);

+   *
+   *     expect(badFn).to.throw(/salmon/);
+   *
+   * When two arguments are provided, and the first is an error instance or

+   * 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

+   *     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.
