/**
 * Ensures an error matches expected type(s), otherwise rethrows.
 *
 * Unmatched errors bubble up, like Python's `except`. Narrows error types for
 * type-safe property access.
 *
 * @example Catch specific error
 * ```ts
 * class NotFoundError extends Error {
 *   getStatus() { return 404 }
 * }
 *
 * try {
 *   // This will bubble up since it's not a NotFoundError
 *   throw new Error("Unexpected error");
 * } catch (err) {
 *   except(err, NotFoundError);
 *   // Only NotFoundError reaches here
 *   err.getStatus();
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @example Handle multiple error types
 * ```ts
 * class DbError extends Error {
 *   query: string;
 * }
 * class NetworkError extends Error {
 *   code: number;
 * }
 *
 * try {
 *   await db.query();
 * } catch (err) {
 *   except(err, DbError, NetworkError);
 *   // Only DbError or NetworkError reach here
 *   if (err instanceof DbError) {
 *     console.log(err.query);
 *   } else {
 *     console.log(err.code);
 *   }
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @param error - The error to check
 * @param errorClasses - Expected error type(s)
 * @throws The original error if it doesn't match expected type(s)
