/** 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 }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  It is the responsibility of the caller to call `isDefinedAt` before
 *  calling `apply`, because if `isDefinedAt` is false, it is not guaranteed
 *  `apply` will throw an exception to indicate an error condition. If an
 *  exception is not thrown, evaluation may result in an arbitrary value.
 *
 *  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)
 *  }}}

   *  For all partial function literals the compiler generates an `applyOrElse` implementation which

   *  This makes `applyOrElse` the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:
   *
   *  - combining partial functions into `orElse`/`andThen` chains does not lead to
   *    excessive `apply`/`isDefinedAt` evaluation
   *  - `lift` and `unlift` do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation
   *  - `runWith` allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions
   *    with conditionally applied actions
   *
   *  For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial `isDefinedAt` method
   *  it is recommended to override `applyOrElse` with custom implementation that avoids
   *  double `isDefinedAt` evaluation. This may result in better performance
   *  and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

  /** To implement patterns like {{{ if(pf isDefinedAt x) f1(pf(x)) else f2(x) }}} efficiently

   *  To avoid double evaluation of pattern matchers & guards `applyOrElse` method is used here
   *  instead of `isDefinedAt`/`apply` pair.
   *
   *  After call to `applyOrElse` we need both the function result it returned and
   *  the fact if the function's argument was contained in its domain. The only degree of freedom we have here
   *  to achieve this goal is tweaking with the continuation argument (`default`) of `applyOrElse` method.
   *  The obvious way is to throw an exception from `default` function and to catch it after
   *  calling `applyOrElse` but I consider this somewhat inefficient.
   *
   *  I know only one way how you can do this task efficiently: `default` function should return unique marker object
   *  which never may be returned by any other (regular/partial) function. This way after calling `applyOrElse` you need
   *  just one reference comparison to distinguish if `pf isDefined x` or not.
   *
   *  This correctly interacts with specialization as return type of `applyOrElse`
   *  (which is parameterized upper bound) can never be specialized.
   *
   *  Here `fallback_pf` is used as both unique marker object and special fallback function that returns it.
