/** A partial function of type `PartialFunction[A, B]` is a unary function
 *  where the domain does not necessarily include all values of type `A`.
 *  The function `isDefinedAt` allows to test dynamically if a value is in
 *  the domain of the function.
 *
 *  Even if `isDefinedAt` returns true for an `a: A`, calling `apply(a)` may
 *  still throw an exception, so the following code is legal:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val f: PartialFunction[Int, Any] = { case _ => 1/0 }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  The main distinction between `PartialFunction` and [[scala.Function1]] is
 *  that the user of a `PartialFunction` may choose to do something different
 *  with input that is declared to be outside its domain. For example:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val sample = 1 to 10
 *  val isEven: PartialFunction[Int, String] = {
 *    case x if x % 2 == 0 => x+" is even"
 *  }
 *
 *  // the method collect can use isDefinedAt to select which members to collect
 *  val evenNumbers = sample collect isEven
 *
 *  val isOdd: PartialFunction[Int, String] = {
 *    case x if x % 2 == 1 => x+" is odd"
 *  }
 *
 *  // the method orElse allows chaining another partial function to handle
 *  // input outside the declared domain
 *  val numbers = sample map (isEven orElse isOdd)
 *  }}}
