/** The `Predef` object provides definitions that are accessible in all Scala
 *  compilation units without explicit qualification.
 *
 *  === Commonly Used Types ===
 *  Predef provides type aliases for types which are commonly used, such as
 *  the immutable collection types [[scala.collection.immutable.Map]],
 *  [[scala.collection.immutable.Set]], and the [[scala.collection.immutable.List]]
 *  constructors ([[scala.collection.immutable.::]] and
 *  [[scala.collection.immutable.Nil]]).
 *
 *  === Console Output ===
 *  For basic console output, `Predef` provides convenience methods [[print(x:Any* print]] and [[println(x:Any* println]],
 *  which are aliases of the methods in the object [[scala.Console]].
 *
 *  === Assertions ===
 *  A set of `assert` functions are provided for use as a way to document
 *  and dynamically check invariants in code. Invocations of `assert` can be elided
 *  at compile time by providing the command line option `-Xdisable-assertions`,
 *  which raises `-Xelide-below` above `elidable.ASSERTION`, to the `scalac` command.
 *
 *  Variants of `assert` intended for use with static analysis tools are also
 *  provided: `assume`, `require` and `ensuring`. `require` and `ensuring` are
 *  intended for use as a means of design-by-contract style specification
 *  of pre- and post-conditions on functions, with the intention that these
 *  specifications could be consumed by a static analysis tool. For instance,
 *
 *  {{{
 *  def addNaturals(nats: List[Int]): Int = {
 *    require(nats forall (_ >= 0), "List contains negative numbers")
 *    nats.foldLeft(0)(_ + _)
 *  } ensuring(_ >= 0)
 *  }}}
 *
 *  The declaration of `addNaturals` states that the list of integers passed should
 *  only contain natural numbers (i.e. non-negative), and that the result returned
 *  will also be natural. `require` is distinct from `assert` in that if the
 *  condition fails, then the caller of the function is to blame rather than a
 *  logical error having been made within `addNaturals` itself. `ensuring` is a
 *  form of `assert` that declares the guarantee the function is providing with
 *  regards to its return value.
 *
 *  === Implicit Conversions ===
 *  A number of commonly applied implicit conversions are also defined here, and
 *  in the parent type [[scala.LowPriorityImplicits]]. Implicit conversions
 *  are provided for the "widening" of numeric values, for instance, converting a
 *  Short value to a Long value as required, and to add additional higher-order
 *  functions to Array values. These are described in more detail in the documentation of [[scala.Array]].
