[3.11] Improve assert_type phrasing (GH-104081) by miss-islington · Pull Request #104084 · python/cpython

I'd like to make the fact that this does nothing at runtime
really obvious, since I suspect this is unintuitive for users who are
unfamiliar with static type checking.

I thought of this because of
https://discuss.python.org/t/add-arg-check-type-to-types/26384
wherein I'm skeptical that the user really did want assert_type.
(cherry picked from commit 82ba6ce)
