Return `true` if the specified `specChar` represents a valid description of the expected result, and `false` otherwise. `specChar` is valid if it is either an (UPPERCASE) `P` (for Pass) or `F` (for Fail). Note that `P` is intended to represent the expectation that the function under test will "pass" by satisfying all preconditions, including the specific one guarded by the assertion under test, while an `F` is intended to indicate the expectation that the specific assertion under test will "fail" (thereby triggering a call to the currently‐installed assertion‐failure handler).
