Intent
Provide a template to suppress any exceptions that either are declared but cannot occur or should only be logged;
while executing some business logic. The template removes the need to write repeated try-catch blocks.
Applicability
Use this idiom when
- an API declares some exception but can never throw that exception eg. ByteArrayOutputStream bulk write method.
- you need to suppress some exception just by logging it, such as closing a resource.
