`chainerror` provides an error backtrace like `failure` without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
binaries, you still have the error backtrace.

`chainerror` has no dependencies!

`chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` 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.

Debug information is worth it!

## Example:
Output:

~~~
$ cargo run -q --example example
Main Error Report: func1 error calling func2

Error reported by Func2Error: func2 error: calling func3

The root cause was: std::io::Error: Kind(
    NotFound
)

Debug Error:
examples/example.rs:45: func1 error calling func2
Caused by:
examples/example.rs:20: Func2Error(func2 error: calling func3)
Caused by:
examples/example.rs:13: Error reading 'foo.txt'
Caused by:
Kind(NotFound)

## Features

`no-fileline`
: completely turn off storing filename and line

`display-cause`
: turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`

`no-debug-cause`
: turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
