/**
 * @fileoverview Disallow usage of `assert.deepStrictEqual`.
 *
 * In chai, `deepStrictEqual` is an alias for `deepEqual`, and we want to
 * consistently use the latter to not leave developers wondering what's
 * the difference between these two. Also the `strict` part in the name might
 * lead to the wrong conclusion that this is about strict equality.
