### ERR_AMBIGUOUS_ARGUMENT
This is triggered by the `assert` module in case e.g.,
`assert.throws(fn, message)` is used in a way that the message is the thrown
error message. This is ambiguous because the message is not verifying the error
message and will only be thrown in case no error is thrown.
A function argument is being used in a way that suggests that the function
signature may be misunderstood. This is thrown by the `assert` module when the
`message` parameter in `assert.throws(block, message)` matches the error message
thrown by `block` because that usage suggests that the user believes `message`
is the expected message rather than the message the `AssertionError` will
display if `block` does not throw.
