/**
 * 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]):
 *
 *        `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 a value,
 * 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 it 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 `new RangeError.range(startIndex, 0, length)`.
