/**
* Thrown to indicate an unexpected failure in pattern matching.
*
* <p>{@code MatchException} may be thrown when an exhaustive pattern matching
* language construct (such as a {@code switch} expression) encounters a value
* that does not match any of the specified patterns at run time, even though
* the construct has been deemed exhaustive. This is intentional and can arise
* from a number of cases:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Separate compilation anomalies, where parts of the type hierarchy that
* the patterns reference have been changed, but the pattern matching
* construct has not been recompiled. For example, if a sealed interface
* has a different set of permitted subtypes at run time than it had at
* compile time, or if an enum class has a different set of enum constants
* at runtime than it had at compile time, or if the type hierarchy has
* been changed in some incompatible way between compile time and run time.</li>
*
* <li>{@code null} values and nested patterns involving sealed classes. If,
* for example, an interface {@code I} is {@code sealed} with two permitted
* subclasses {@code A} and {@code B}, and a record class {@code R} has a
* single component of type {@code I}, then the two record patterns {@code
* R(A a)} and {@code R(B b)} together are considered to be exhaustive for
* the type {@code R}, but neither of these patterns will match against the
* result of {@code new R(null)}.</li>
*
* <li>{@code null} values and nested record patterns. Given a record class
* {@code S} with a single component of type {@code T}, where {@code T} is
* another record class with a single component of type {@code String},
* then the nested record pattern {@code R(S(var s))} is considered
* exhaustive for the type {@code R} but it does not match against the
* result of {@code new R(null)} (whereas it does match against the result
* of {@code new R(new S(null))} does).</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>{@code MatchException} may also be thrown by the process of pattern matching
* a value against a pattern. For example, pattern matching involving a record
* pattern may require accessor methods to be implicitly invoked in order to
* extract the component values. If any of these accessor methods throws an
* exception, pattern matching completes abruptly and throws {@code
* MatchException}. The original exception will be set as a {@link
* Throwable#getCause() cause} of the {@code MatchException}. No {@link
* Throwable#addSuppressed(java.lang.Throwable) suppressed} exceptions will be
* recorded.
*
