    """Base class for status word error checking strategies.

    Error checking strategies are chained into an L{ErrorCheckingChain} to
    implement a Chain of Responsibility. Each strategy in the chain is
    called until an error is  detected. The strategy raises a
    L{smartcard.sw.SWExceptions} exception when an error is detected.

    Implementation derived from Bruce Eckel, Thinking in Python. The
    L{ErrorCheckingChain} implements the Chain Of Responsibility design
    pattern.
