/**

 * {@link IllegalStateException} if called outside the scope of a request
 * (e.g. from a provider constructor).
 *
 * Precondition processing (see the {@code evaluatePreconditions} methods)
 * can result in either a {@code null} return value to indicate that
 * preconditions have been met and that the request should continue, or
 * a non-{@code null} return value to indicate that preconditions were not met. In the
 * event that preconditions were not met, the returned {@code ResponseBuilder}
 * instance will have an appropriate status and will also include a {@code Vary}
 * header if the {@link #selectVariant(List)} method was called prior to to calling
 * {@code evaluatePreconditions}. It is the responsibility of the caller
 * to check the status and add additional metadata if required. E.g., see
 * HTTP/1.1, section 10.3.5
 * for details of the headers that are expected to accompany a {@code 304 Not Modified}
 * response.
