#' Check that a set of arguments inherits from a set of classes
#' Throws an exception if one argument does not pass the checks.
#' Argument must have AT LEAST ONE of the specified classes to pass.
#' @param arguments a list object containing argument_name=argument pairs for
#' each argument. Argument names must be provided or else they will be ignored.
#' @param target_classes character vector of the classes to check for.
#' @param ignore_null boolean. Indicates whether to ignore arguments with value
#' NULL (TRUE) or to throw an exception (FALSE). Default = TRUE.
