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.
