As a holiday gift to myself I am reading Programming in Scala from cover to cover. I've gotten as far as the pattern matching stuff and there's a discussion of partial functions. PiS says: "In general, you should try to work with complete functions whenever possible..."
But I notice that the Lift code is filled with partial functions. They're all over the place. What is the benefit of using partial functions that outweighs the detriment of possible runtime errors? I'm trying to understand why partial functions might be useful. Thanks!
