  # ==== Examples
  #   { :name => "Rob", :years => "28" }.assert_valid_keys(:name, :age) # => raises "ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): years"
  #   { :name => "Rob", :age => "28" }.assert_valid_keys("name", "age") # => raises "ArgumentError: Unknown key(s): name, age"
  #   { :name => "Rob", :age => "28" }.assert_valid_keys(:name, :age) # => passes, raises nothing
