/**
* Thrown when an object is an instance of an unexpected type (a class or interface).
* This exception supplements the standard IllegalArgumentException
* by providing a more semantically rich description of the problem.
*
* IllegalClassException represents the case where a method takes
* in a genericly typed parameter like Object (typically because it has to due to some
* other interface it implements), but this implementation only actually accepts a specific
* type, for example String. This exception would be used in place of
* IllegalArgumentException, yet it still extends it.
