//! This is a tiny crate that provides a tiny error-wrapper struct
//! `BacktraceError` with only two features:
//!
//! - Captures a backtrace on `From`-conversion from its wrapped type (if
//! `RUST_BACKTRACE` is on etc.)
//! - Pretty-prints that backtrace in its `Display` implementation.
//!
//! It also includes an extension trait `ResultExt` that you can `use` to give
//! you `.unwrap_or_backtrace` and `.expect_or_backtrace` methods on any
//! `Result<T, BacktraceError<E>>`. These methods do do the same as `unwrap`
//! or `expect` on `Result` except they pretty-print the backtrace on `Err`,
//! before panicking.
//!
//! Finally, it provides a _dynamic_ variant in case you want to type-erase the
//! error type, `DynBacktraceError`. This works the same as `BacktraceError<E>`
//! but wraps a `Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>` instead of requiring a
//! specific error type `E`, so is therefore potentially more expensive but also
//! more flexible and usable as an "any error" catchall type since it has an
//! `impl<E:Error + Send + Sync + 'static> From<E>` conversion.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! Usage is straightforward: put some existing error type in it. No macros!
//!
//! ```should_panic
//! use backtrace_error::{BacktraceError,ResultExt};
//! use std::{io,fs};
//!
//! type IOError = BacktraceError<io::Error>;
//!
//! fn open_file() -> Result<fs::File, IOError> {
//! Ok(fs::File::open("/does-not-exist.nope")?)
//! }
//!
//! fn do_stuff() -> Result<fs::File, IOError>
//! {
//! open_file()
//! }
//!
//! fn main()
//! {
//! // This will panic but first print a backtrace of
//! // the error site, then a backtrace of the panic site.
//! let file = do_stuff().unwrap_or_backtrace();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! or dynamically:
//!
//! ```should_panic
//! use backtrace_error::{DynBacktraceError,ResultExt};
//! use std::{io,fs};
//!
//! type AppErr = DynBacktraceError;
//!
//! fn open_file() -> Result<fs::File, AppErr> {
//! Ok(fs::File::open("/does-not-exist.nope")?)
//! }
//!
//! fn parse_number() -> Result<i32, AppErr> {
//! Ok(i32::from_str_radix("not-a-number", 10)?)
//! }
//!
//! fn do_stuff() -> Result<(), AppErr>
//! {
//! open_file()?;
//! parse_number()?;
//! Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn main()
//! {
//! // This will panic but first print a backtrace of
//! // the error site, then a backtrace of the panic site.
//! do_stuff().unwrap_or_backtrace();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! I am very sorry for having written Yet Another Rust Error Crate but
//! strangely everything I looked at either doesn't capture backtraces, doesn't
//! print them, only debug-prints them on a failed unwrap (which is illegible),
//! provides a pile of features I don't want through expensive macros, or some
//! combination thereof. I don't need any of that, I just want to capture
//! backtraces for errors when they occur, and print them out sometime later.
//!
//! I figured maybe someone out there has the same need, so am publishing it.
