+[`assert.deepMatch()`][] evaluates the equivalence between the `actual` and `expected` parameters by
+performing a deep comparison. This function ensures that all properties defined
+in the `expected` parameter match those in the `actual` parameter in
+both value and type, allowing type coercion.

+If the values or keys are not equal in the `expected` parameter, an [`AssertionError`][] is thrown with a `message`
+property set equal to the value of the `message` parameter. If the `message`
+parameter is undefined, a default error message is assigned. If the `message`
+parameter is an instance of an [`Error`][] then it will be thrown instead of the
+`AssertionError`.

+parameter is included in the `actual` parameter; the comparison is done with type coercion.
