failure.invalid_covers_nothing

Catch-all covers no rule, because every rule that can break has an arm.

Area 4, Failures; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

example
type Quantity = Int {    min: 1    max: 1000}type QuantityTooLarge = Failure {    kind: FailureKind.invalid_value}type QuantityRefused = Failure {    kind: FailureKind.invalid_value}function doubled(quantity: Quantity) fails QuantityTooLarge, QuantityRefused -> Quantity {    var result: Quantity = attempt Quantity(quantity * 2) {        max: QuantityTooLarge        invalid: QuantityRefused    }    return result}
