[source: scala/PartialFunction.scala]
trait PartialFunction[-A, +B]
extends (A) => B
A partial function of type PartialFunction[A, B] is a unary function where the domain does not include all values of type A. The function isDefinedAt allows to test dynamically, if a value is in the domain of the function.
