//! Some newtype wrappers to help with using ? in main()
//!
//! The primary items exported by this library are:
//!
//! - `ExitFailure`: a wrapper around `failure::Error` to allow ? printing from main
//!    to present a nicer error message, including any available context and backtrace.
//!
//! - `ExitDisplay<E>`: a wrapper around `E: std::fmt::Display` to allow the error message
//!    from main to use `Display` and not `Debug`
//!
//! Basically, these types should only ever be used in the return type for
//! `main()`
//!
