/**
 * This class is used to simplify error handling logic <i>within</i> operator and function
 * implementations.   Note - {@code OperationEval.evaluate()} and {@code Function.evaluate()}
 * method signatures do not throw this exception so it cannot propagate outside.<p>
 *
 * Here is an example coded without {@code EvaluationException}, to show how it can help:
 * <pre>{@code
 * public Eval evaluate(Eval[] args, int srcRow, short srcCol) {
 *	// ...
 *	Eval arg0 = args[0];
 *	if(arg0 instanceof ErrorEval) {
 *		return arg0;
 *	}
 *	if(!(arg0 instanceof AreaEval)) {
 *		return ErrorEval.VALUE_INVALID;
 *	}
 *	double temp = 0;
 *	AreaEval area = (AreaEval)arg0;
 *	ValueEval[] values = area.getValues();
 *	for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
 *		ValueEval ve = values[i];
 *		if(ve instanceof ErrorEval) {
 *			return ve;
 *		}
 *		if(!(ve instanceof NumericValueEval)) {
 *			return ErrorEval.VALUE_INVALID;
 *		}
 *		temp += ((NumericValueEval)ve).getNumberValue();
 *	}
 *	// ...
 * }
 * }</pre>
 * In this example, if any error is encountered while processing the arguments, an error is
 * returned immediately. This code is difficult to refactor due to all the points where errors
 * are returned.<br>
 * Using {@code EvaluationException} allows the error returning code to be consolidated to one
 * place.
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * public Eval evaluate(Eval[] args, int srcRow, short srcCol) {
 *	try {
 *		// ...
 *		AreaEval area = getAreaArg(args[0]);
 *		double temp = sumValues(area.getValues());
 *		// ...
 *	} catch (EvaluationException e) {
 *		return e.getErrorEval();
 *	}
 *}
 *
 *private static AreaEval getAreaArg(Eval arg0) throws EvaluationException {
 *	if (arg0 instanceof ErrorEval) {
 *		throw new EvaluationException((ErrorEval) arg0);
 *	}
 *	if (arg0 instanceof AreaEval) {
 *		return (AreaEval) arg0;
 *	}
 *	throw EvaluationException.invalidValue();
 *}
 *
 *private double sumValues(ValueEval[] values) throws EvaluationException {
 *	double temp = 0;
 *	for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
 *		ValueEval ve = values[i];
 *		if (ve instanceof ErrorEval) {
 *			throw new EvaluationException((ErrorEval) ve);
 *		}
 *		if (!(ve instanceof NumericValueEval)) {
 *			throw EvaluationException.invalidValue();
 *		}
 *		temp += ((NumericValueEval) ve).getNumberValue();
 *	}
 *	return temp;
 *}
 * }</pre>
 * It is not mandatory to use EvaluationException, doing so might give the following advantages:<br>
 *  - Methods can more easily be extracted, allowing for re-use.<br>
 *  - Type management (typecasting etc) is simpler because error conditions have been separated from
 * intermediate calculation values.<br>
 *  - Fewer local variables are required. Local variables can have stronger types.<br>
 *  - It is easier to mimic common Excel error handling behaviour (exit upon encountering first
 *  error), because exceptions conveniently propagate up the call stack regardless of execution
 *  points or the number of levels of nested calls.<p>
 *
 * <b>Note</b> - Only standard evaluation errors are represented by {@code EvaluationException} (
 * i.e. conditions expected to be encountered when evaluating arbitrary Excel formulas). Conditions
 * that could never occur in an Excel spreadsheet should result in runtime exceptions. Care should
 * be taken to not translate any POI internal error into an Excel evaluation error code.
