/// A generic error which represents a linked-list of errors and exposes it with [source()](std::error::Error::source).
/// It's meant to be the target of a conversion of any [Exn](crate::Exn) error tree.
///
/// It's useful for inter-op with other error handling crates like `anyhow` which offer simplified access to the error chain,
/// and thus is expected to be wrapped in one of their types intead of being used directly.
