* An {@code Error} is a subclass of {@code Throwable}
* that indicates serious problems that a reasonable application
* should not try to catch. Most such errors are abnormal conditions.
* The {@code ThreadDeath} error, though a "normal" condition,
* is also a subclass of {@code Error} because most applications
* should not try to catch it.
* <p>
* A method is not required to declare in its {@code throws}
* clause any subclasses of {@code Error} that might be thrown
* during the execution of the method but not caught, since these
* errors are abnormal conditions that should never occur.
*
* That is, {@code Error} and its subclasses are regarded as unchecked
* exceptions for the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions.
