//! Custom panic hooks that allow silencing certain types of errors.
//!
//! Use the [`mute_sigpipe_panic`] function to silence panics caused by
//! broken pipe errors. This can happen when a process is still
//! producing data when the consuming process terminates and closes the
//! pipe. For example,
//!
//! ```sh
//! $ seq inf | head -n 1
//! ```
//!
