Jira (PUP-2314) assert_type function should handle lambda

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: assert_type function should handle lambda For functional review: The assert_type before the change only accepted a type and a value, returned the value if it was an instance of the type. The new implementation allows a lambda to be given with two parameters, expected, and actual.
