:mrdocs:

Assert that the passed argument (the specified `ptr`) is not a null pointer value. Note that this utility is necessary as the `HashTable` class template may be instantiated with function pointers for the hasher or comparator policies, but there is no easy way to assert in general that the value of a generic type passed to a function is not a null pointer value.
