031/**
032 * <div>
033 * Ensures that exception classes (classes with names conforming to some pattern
034 * and explicitly extending classes with names conforming to other
035 * pattern) are immutable, that is, that they have only final fields.
036 * </div>
037 *
038 * <p>
039 * The current algorithm is very simple: it checks that all members of exception are final.
040 * The user can still mutate an exception's instance (e.g. Throwable has a method called
041 * {@code setStackTrace} which changes the exception's stack trace). But, at least, all
042 * information provided by this exception type is unchangeable.
043 * </p>
044 *
045 * <p>
046 * Rationale: Exception instances should represent an error
047 * condition. Having non-final fields not only allows the state to be
048 * modified by accident and therefore mask the original condition but
049 * also allows developers to accidentally forget to set the initial state.
050 * In both cases, code catching the exception could draw incorrect
051 * conclusions based on the state.
052 * </p>
