Asserts that <code>actual</code> satisfies the condition specified by
<code>matcher</code>. If not, an {@link AssertionError} is thrown with
the reason and information about the matcher and failing value. Example:

<pre>
assertThat(&quot;Help! Integers don't work&quot;, 0, is(1)); // fails:
// failure message:
// Help! Integers don't work
// expected: is &lt;1&gt;
// got value: &lt;0&gt;
assertThat(&quot;Zero is one&quot;, 0, is(not(1))) // passes
</pre>

<code>org.hamcrest.Matcher</code> does not currently document the meaning
of its type parameter <code>T</code>.  This method assumes that a matcher
typed as <code>Matcher&lt;T&gt;</code> can be meaningfully applied only
to values that could be assigned to a variable of type <code>T</code>.

@param reason additional information about the error
@param <T> the static type accepted by the matcher (this can flag obvious
compile-time problems such as {@code assertThat(1, is("a"))}
@param actual the computed value being compared
@param matcher an expression, built of {@link Matcher}s, specifying allowed
values
