- Replaced vim.validate() with Lua-style type checks - Future-proofed utility functions for Neovim 0.11+
Replaced custom assert() checks with official vim.validate() form 1, as recommended in Neovim 0.11+ to ensure better consistency with core APIs and forward compatibility.

@glepnir is it the right way to check?
If you have access to a neovim version < 0.11, can you try this in the cmdline.
:print(vim.version().minor)if it prints anything below 11, the line i have put should work.
Will vim.fn.has 'nvim-0.11' == 1 keep working for the future as well?. Seems to me it only verifies a single version.

Cool, then that's confirmed to be working. I'll switch to that then.

New helper function to handle vim.validate dynamically for tables
NOTE: I only tested this on my machine which has neovim version 0.11. But hopefully should work on older neovim versions now (as long as the
vim.version().minorreturns the expected output).
