Terminology point: I know that LiskovViolation is technically correct, but I'd really prefer it if exception names (which are sometimes all users get to see) were more informative for people w/o deep technical background. Would that be possible?
I don't see how. Googling on Liskov immediately brings up clear and understandable descriptions of the principle that's being violated. I can't imagine summarizing the issue more concisely than that! What would you suggest? Including better explanations in the documentation is a must, but "LiskovViolation" in the exception name seems unbeatably clear and concise. -- Michael Chermside
