// Faults and Checks are classes we can use in place of assert() to handle
// unreasonable or necessary conditions in our code. They are constructed with
// friendly descriptions (and optionally error codes) and then used just
// like assert() would be used-- except they are designed to remain in the
// production code. After all, assert() is a C (not C++) concept.
//
// A ...Check(test_expression) activates when the test_expression is not true.
// A ...Fault(text_expression) activates when the test_expression is true.
//
// An Abort...() sends it's description to cerr then aborts (no cleanup).
// An Exit...() sends it's description to cerr then exits with a result code.
// A Runtime...() throws a runtime_error (self) with it's description in what().
// A Logic...() throws a logic_error (self) with it's description in what().
