#' Does code return an object inheriting from the expected base type, S3 class,
#' or S4 class?

#' @description
#' See <https://adv-r.hadley.nz/oo.html> for an overview of R's OO systems, and
#' the vocabulary used here.
#'
#' * `expect_type(x, type)` checks that `typeof(x)` is `type`.
#' * `expect_s3_class(x, class)` checks that `x` is an S3 object that
#'   [inherits()] from `class`
#' * `expect_s3_class(x, NA)` checks that `x` isn't an S3 object.
#' * `expect_s4_class(x, class)` checks that `x` is an S4 object that
#'   [is()] `class`.
#' * `expect_s4_class(x, NA)` checks that `x` isn't an S4 object.
#'
#' See [expect_vector()] for testing properties of objects created by vctrs.

#' @param type String giving base type (as returned by [typeof()]).
#' @param class Either a character vector of class names, or
#'  for `expect_s3_class()` and `expect_s4_class()`, an `NA` to assert
#'  that `object` isn't an S3 or S4 object.
