 * <code>Assert</code> is useful for for embedding runtime sanity checks in code. The predicate
 * methods all test a condition and throw some type of unchecked exception if the condition does not
 * hold.
 * <p>
 * Assertion failure exceptions, like most runtime exceptions, are thrown when something is
 * misbehaving. Assertion failures are invariably unspecified behavior; consequently, clients should
 * never rely on these being thrown (and certainly should not being catching them specifically).
