/**
 * This class assists in validating arguments. The validation methods are
 * based along the following principles:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>An invalid {@code null} argument causes a {@link NullPointerException}.</li>
 *   <li>A non-{@code null} argument causes an {@link IllegalArgumentException}.</li>
 *   <li>An invalid index into an array/collection/map/string causes an {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException}.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>All exceptions messages are
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax">format strings</a>
 * as defined by the Java platform. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * Validate.isTrue(i &gt; 0, "The value must be greater than zero: %d", i);
 * Validate.notNull(surname, "The surname must not be %s", null);
 * </pre>
