Seems fine to me. (I'm one of the folks who was concerned with the
assert_type() name.)

In my own code, I'll probably opt to always use such an assert_type()
function in qualified form, as `typing.assert_type()` (by using `import
typing` rather than `from typing import assert_type`) since that will be
more likely to be treated as "something that has to do with static
typing" rather than a runtime assertion.

Best,
