  # An exception indicating a problem during protocol processing.
  ProtocolError = Class.new(StandardError)

  # Specify a new protocol or retrieve the specification of an existing
  # protocol.
  #
  # When called without a block the global protocol registry will be searched
  # for a protocol with the matching name. If found the corresponding
  # {Functional::ProtocolInfo} object will be returned. If not found `nil` will
  # be returned.
  #
  # When called with a block, a new protocol with the given name will be
  # created and the block will be processed to provide the specifiction.
  # When successful the new {Functional::ProtocolInfo} object will be returned.
  # An exception will be raised if a protocol with the same name already
  # exists.
  #
  # @example
  #   Functional::SpecifyProtocol(:Queue) do
  #     instance_method :push, 1
  #     instance_method :pop, 0
  #     instance_method :length, 0
  #   end
  #
  # @param [Symbol] name The global name of the new protocol
  # @yield The protocol definition
  # @return [Functional::ProtocolInfo] the newly created or already existing
  #   protocol specification
  #
  # @raise [Functional::ProtocolError] when attempting to specify a protocol
  #   that has already been specified.

  # @see Functional::Protocol

  # Protocols provide a polymorphism and method-dispatch mechanism that eschews
  # strong typing and embraces the dynamic duck typing of Ruby. Rather than
  # interrogate a module, class, or object for its type and ancestry, protocols
  # allow modules, classes, and methods to be interrogated based on their behavior.
  # It is a logical extension of the `respond_to?` method, but vastly more powerful.
