//! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
//! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
//!
//! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
//! Having nested function returning errors, the output doesn't tell where the error originates from.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//!
//! type BoxedError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>;
//! fn read_config_file(path: PathBuf) -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! let _buf = std::fs::read_to_string(&path)?;
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn process_config_file() -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! let _buf = read_config_file("foo.txt".into())?;
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//! if let Err(e) = process_config_file() {
//! eprintln!("Error:\n{:?}", e);
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This gives the output:
//! ```console
//! Error:
//! Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
//! ```
//! and you have no idea where it comes from.
//!
//!
//! With `chainerror`, you can supply a context and get a nice error backtrace:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use chainerror::prelude::v1::*;
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//!
//! type BoxedError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>;
//! fn read_config_file(path: PathBuf) -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! let _buf = std::fs::read_to_string(&path).context(format!("Reading file: {:?}", &path))?;
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn process_config_file() -> Result<(), BoxedError> {
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! let _buf = read_config_file("foo.txt".into()).context("read the config file")?;
//! // do stuff, return other errors
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//! if let Err(e) = process_config_file() {
//! eprintln!("Error:\n{:?}", e);
//! # assert_eq!(
//! # format!("{:?}\n", e),
//! # "\
//! # src/lib.rs:16:51: read the config file\n\
//! # Caused by:\n\
//! # src/lib.rs:9:47: Reading file: \"foo.txt\"\n\
//! # Caused by:\n\
//! # Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: \"No such file or directory\" }\n\
//! # ",
//! # );
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! with the output:
//! ```console
//! Error:
//! examples/simple.rs:14:51: read the config file
//! Caused by:
//! examples/simple.rs:7:47: Reading file: "foo.txt"
//! Caused by:
//! Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
//! ```
//!
//! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `#[track_caller]` and `Location` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
//! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
//!
//! Along with the `ChainError<T>` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
//!
//! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
//!
//! Debug information is worth it!
