  --- Validates a parameter specification (types and values).
  ---
  --- Usage example:
  ---
  --- ```lua
  ---  function user.new(name, age, hobbies)
  ---    vim.validate{
  ---      name={name, 'string'},
  ---      age={age, 'number'},
  ---      hobbies={hobbies, 'table'},
  ---    }
  ---    ...
  ---  end
  --- ```
  ---
  --- Examples with explicit argument values (can be run directly):
  ---
  --- ```lua
  ---  vim.validate{arg1={{'foo'}, 'table'}, arg2={'foo', 'string'}}
  ---     --> NOP (success)
  ---
  ---  vim.validate{arg1={1, 'table'}}
  ---     --> error('arg1: expected table, got number')
  ---
  ---  vim.validate{arg1={3, function(a) return (a % 2) == 0 end, 'even number'}}
  ---     --> error('arg1: expected even number, got 3')
  --- ```
  ---
  --- If multiple types are valid they can be given as a list.
  ---
  --- ```lua
  ---  vim.validate{arg1={{'foo'}, {'table', 'string'}}, arg2={'foo', {'table', 'string'}}}
  ---  -- NOP (success)
  ---
  ---  vim.validate{arg1={1, {'string', 'table'}}}
  ---  -- error('arg1: expected string|table, got number')
  ---
  --- ```
  ---
  ---@param opt table Names of parameters to validate. Each key is a parameter
  ---          name; each value is a tuple in one of these forms:
  ---          1. (arg_value, type_name, optional)
  ---             - arg_value: argument value
  ---             - type_name: string|table type name, one of: ("table", "t", "string",
  ---               "s", "number", "n", "boolean", "b", "function", "f", "nil",
  ---               "thread", "userdata") or list of them.
  ---             - optional: (optional) boolean, if true, `nil` is valid
  ---          2. (arg_value, fn, msg)
  ---             - arg_value: argument value
  ---             - fn: any function accepting one argument, returns true if and
  ---               only if the argument is valid. Can optionally return an additional
  ---               informative error message as the second returned value.
  ---             - msg: (optional) error string if validation fails
  function vim.validate(opt)
    local ok, err_msg = is_valid(opt)

--- Creates a table whose missing keys are provided by {createfn} (like Python's "defaultdict").
---

--- nested tables:
---
--- ```lua
--- local a = vim.defaulttable()
--- a.b.c = 1
--- ```
