Generic Error

A simple utility to convert any error type that isn't clonable into one that is, while preserving source information providing Serialize and Deserialize functionality. Magic?

How it works

The GenericError<E> wrapper type just stores the Display and Debug implementations of the wrapped type, which is now always clonable and will serialize just fine. The GenericError<E> type kinda looks like this:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
pub struct GenericError<T>
{
  display: String,
  debug: String,
  source: Option<GenericError>,
}

.. although many details have been omitted for brevity
