/**
 * Thrown when attempting to build a protocol message that is missing required
 * fields. This is a {@code RuntimeException} because it normally represents a
 * programming error: it happens when some code which constructs a message fails
 * to set all the fields. {@code parseFrom()} methods do not throw this;
 * they throw an {@link InvalidProtocolBufferException} if required fields are
 * missing, because it is not a programming error to receive an incomplete
 * message. In other words, {@code UninitializedMessageException} should never
 * be thrown by correct code, but {@code InvalidProtocolBufferException} might
 * be.
