/** 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)
* }}}

*
* - 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.
