/**
 * <p>Thrown to indicate that a block of code has not been implemented.

 * 
 * <p><code>NotImplementedException</code> represents the case where the
 * author has yet to implement the logic at this point in the program.
 * This can act as an exception based TODO tag.
 * Because this logic might be within a catch block, this exception
 * suports exception chaining.</p>
