//! # `ebacktrace`
//! Welcome to `ebacktrace` 🎉
//! 
//! This crate implements a simple error wrapper which captures a backtrace upon creation and can carry an optional textual
//! description of the error.
//! 
//! ## Example
//! ```should_panic
//! use ebacktrace::define_error;
//! use std::fmt::{ self, Display, Formatter };
//! 
//! /// The error kind
//! #[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone)]
//! enum ErrorKind {
//!     MyErrorA,
//!     Testolope
//! }
//! impl Display for ErrorKind {
//!     fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
//!         write!(f, "{:#?}", self)
//!     }
//! }
//! // Define our custom error type
//! define_error!(Error);
//! 
//! /// A function that will always fail
//! fn will_fail() -> Result<(), Error<ErrorKind>> {
//!     Err(ErrorKind::Testolope)?
//! }
//! 
//! // Will panic with a nice error
//! if let Err(e) = will_fail() {
//!     eprintln!("Error: {:?}", e);
//!     panic!("Fatal error")
//! }
//! ```
//! 
//! ## Features
//! This crate currently has two feature gates:
//!   - `derive_display` (enabled by default): Use the `Display`-trait for `Etrace<MyType>` using the `Debug`
//!     representation of `MyType` (instead of the `Display` representation). This way you can pretty-print the underlying
//!     error types without the necessity to manually implement the `Display`-trait for them.
//!   - `force_backtrace` (disabled by default): If `force_backtrace` is enable, the backtrace is always captured,
//!     regardless whether `RUST_BACKTRACE` is set or not.
