#' Validate expected classes
#'
#' Validity check capable of validating multiple slots in a single call.
#'
#' To be used inside S4 [`setValidity()`][methods::setValidity()] call or with
#' [validate()]. Particularly useful for checking multiple slotted objects
#' inside [`metadata()`][S4Vectors::metadata].

#' @inheritParams AcidRoxygen::params
#'
#' @param expected `list`.
#' Named list of expected classes per slot.
#'
#' @param subset `logical(1)`.
#' Only check a subset of slots in the object.

#' - `validate()`.
#' - `methods::setValidity()`.
#' - `methods::validObject()`.
#'
#' @return `logical(1)` (`TRUE`) on sucess or `character(1)` containing
#' informative message on failure.
