Do you mind if I change its signature to

DataTypeException diagnose( String literal, ContextProvide context )
                [ throws UnsupportedOperationException ]

I don't want to write try...catch close everytime I need a diagnosis
message.

?

I want this method for formatting error messages.


> accept => allows/accepts or contains

Just out of curiosity...   Why "allows" and not "allow"?  And why "check",
not "checks"?

Other suggestions are incorporated.
