DIAGNOSTICS

Error: class $package does not implement method $method.
    Fatal error: the specific $package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package. Cast by notImplemented()

Error: parser $type does not extend $pkg.
    Cast by defaultParserType()

Warning: unexpected end of header in $source:\n $line
    Cast by readHeader()
