/// Describes a single error mechanism from a Stim circuit, pairing the
/// detectors and observables it affects with the location(s) where it
/// occurs in the circuit.
///
/// When you call methods like
/// [`Circuit::shortest_graphlike_error`](crate::Circuit::shortest_graphlike_error),
/// Stim returns a list of `ExplainedError` values. Each one represents
/// one fault mechanism that was needed to produce the logical error,
/// containing:
///
/// - **`dem_error_terms`** -- the detectors and logical observables
///   flipped by this error, each annotated with coordinate data (a
///   list of [`DemTargetWithCoords`](crate::DemTargetWithCoords)).
/// - **`circuit_error_locations`** -- the physical location(s) in the
///   circuit where this error can occur, as
///   [`CircuitErrorLocation`] values.
///
/// If `circuit_error_locations` is empty, it means there was a DEM
/// error that was decomposed into parts where one of the parts is
/// impossible to produce from a single circuit error on its own.
///
/// If the list contains a single entry, it may be because only a
/// single representative circuit error was requested (as opposed to
/// all possible errors that produce the same syndrome).
///
