//! The crate's normal usage in one small program: check that a
//! backend exists, ask for text, and ask a yes/no question,
//! handling a cancel at each step as the `None` it is rather
//! than as an error.
//!
//! Run it with `cargo run --example basic` on a machine with a
//! desktop session. For the file dialogs, including filters,
//! see the `open_with_filters` example.
