# ErrorKind to the rescue
To cope with different kind of errors, we introduce the kind of an error `Func1ErrorKind` with an enum.
Because we derive `Debug` and implement `Display` our `Func1ErrorKind` enum, this enum can be used as
a `std::error::Error`.
Not using `String` errors anymore, the `cherr!()` macro seen in the beginning of
the tutorial has to be used again.
Only returning `Func1ErrorKind` in `func1()` now let us get rid of `Result<(), Box<Error>>` and we can
use `ChainResult<(), Func1ErrorKind>`.
In `main` we can now directly use the methods of `ChainError<T>` without downcasting the error first.
Also a nice `match` on `ChainError<T>.kind()` is now possible, which returns `&T`, meaning
`&Func1ErrorKind` here.
