/// Error objects thrown in the case of a program failure.
///
/// An `Error` object represents a program failure that the programmer
/// should have avoided.
///
/// Examples include calling a function with invalid arguments,
/// or even with the wrong number of arguments,
/// or calling it at a time when it is not allowed.
///
/// These are not errors that a caller should expect or catch -
/// if they occur, the program is erroneous,
/// and terminating the program may be the safest response.
///
/// When deciding that a function throws an error,
/// the conditions where it happens should be clearly described,
/// and they should be detectable and predictable,
/// so the programmer using the function can avoid triggering the error.
///
/// Such descriptions often uses words like
/// "must" or "must not" to describe the condition,
/// and if you see words like that in a function's documentation,
/// then not satisfying the requirement
/// is very likely to cause an error to be thrown.
///
/// Example (from [String.contains]):
/// ```plaintext
/// `startIndex` must not be negative or greater than `length`.
/// ```
/// In this case, an error will be thrown if `startIndex` is negative
/// or too large.
///
/// If the conditions are not detectable before calling a function,
/// the called function should not throw an `Error`.
/// It may still throw,
/// but the caller will have to catch the thrown value,
/// effectively making it an alternative result rather than an error.
/// The thrown object can choose to implement [Exception]
/// to document that it represents an exceptional, but not erroneous,
/// occurrence, but being an [Exception] has no other effect
/// than documentation.
///
/// All non-`null` values can be thrown in Dart.
/// Objects extending `Error` are handled specially:
/// The first time they are thrown,
/// the stack trace at the throw point is recorded
/// and stored in the error object.
/// It can be retrieved using the [stackTrace] getter.
/// An error object that merely implements `Error`, and doesn't extend it,
/// will not store the stack trace automatically.
///
/// Error objects are also used for system wide failures
/// like stack overflow or an out-of-memory situation.
///
/// Since errors are not created to be caught,
/// there is no need for subclasses to distinguish the errors.
/// Instead subclasses have been created in order to make groups
/// of related errors easy to create with consistent error messages.
/// For example, the [String.contains] method will use a [RangeError]
/// if its `startIndex` isn't in the range `0..length`,
/// which is easily created by `RangeError.range(startIndex, 0, length)`.
