Throw IllegalArgumentException if the condition if false, otherwise return the value.  This is useful when arguments must be checked
within an expression, as when using {@code this} to call another constructor, which must be the first line of the calling
constructor.

@param <T>       the value type
@param name      the name of the state that is being checked
@param value     the value of the argument
@param condition the condition about the parameter to check
@return          the value
@throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the condition is false
