/**
 * Custom error class thrown when runtime assertion fails in `typia.assert<T>()` function.
 *
 * This error is thrown by the `typia.assert<T>()` function when the input value
 * doesn't match the expected type.
 *
 * The error provides detailed information about the first assertion failure encountered,
 * including the access path where the error occurred, the expected type, and the actual value.
 *
 * @template T - The expected type (generic for type safety)
 * @author Jeongho Nam - https://github.com/samchon
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * interface IMember {
 *   name: string;
 *   age: number & ExclusiveMinimum<19>;
 * }
 *
 * try {
 *   typia.assert<IMember>({ name: "John", age: 18 });
 * } catch (error) {
 *   if (error instanceof TypeGuardError) {
 *     console.log(error.method);   // "typia.assert"
 *     console.log(error.path);     // "input.age"
 *     console.log(error.expected); // "number & ExclusiveMinimum<19>"
 *     console.log(error.value);    // 18
 *   }
 * }
 * ```
