+/**
+ * An exception that provides an easy and safe way to add contextual information.
+ * <p>
+ * An exception trace itself is often insufficient to provide rapid diagnosis of the issue.
+ * Frequently what is needed is a select few pieces of local contextual data.
+ * Providing this data is tricky however, due to concerns over formatting and nulls.
+ * </p><p>
+ * The contexted exception approach allows the exception to be created together with a
+ * list of context label-value pairs. This additional information is automatically included in
+ * the message and printed stack trace.
+ * </p><p>
+ * An unchecked version of this exception is provided by ContextedRuntimeException.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * To use this class write code as follows:
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * try {
+ * ...
+ * } catch (Exception e) {
+ * throw new ContextedException("Error posting account transaction", e)
+ * .addContextValue("Account Number", accountNumber)
+ * .addContextValue("Amount Posted", amountPosted)
+ * .addContextValue("Previous Balance", previousBalance);
+ * }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * or improve diagnose data at a higher level:
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * try {
+ * ...
+ * } catch (ContextedException e) {
+ * throw e.setContextValue("Transaction Id", transactionId);
+ * } catch (Exception e) {
+ * if (e instanceof ExceptionContext) {
+ * e.setContextValue("Transaction Id", transactionId);
+ * }
+ * throw e;
+ * }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * The output in a printStacktrace() (which often is written to a log) would look something like the following:
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * org.apache.commons.lang3.exception.ContextedException: java.lang.Exception: Error posting account transaction
+ * Exception Context:
+ * [1:Account Number=null]
+ * [2:Amount Posted=100.00]
+ * [3:Previous Balance=-2.17]
+ * [4:Transaction Id=94ef1d15-d443-46c4-822b-637f26244899]
+ *
+ * ---------------------------------
+ * at org.apache.commons.lang3.exception.ContextedExceptionTest.testAddValue(ContextedExceptionTest.java:88)
+ * ..... (rest of trace)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @see ContextedRuntimeException
+ * @since 3.0
