//! A lightweight library for displaying errors and their sources.

//! ```rust
//! macro_rules! impl_error {
//!     // ...
//! #    ($ty:ty, $display:expr, $source:expr) => {
//! #        impl ::std::fmt::Display for $ty {
//! #            fn fmt(&self, f: &mut ::std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> ::std::fmt::Result {
//! #                write!(f, "{}", $display)
//! #            }
//! #        }
//! #
//! #        impl ::std::error::Error for $ty {
//! #            fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn ::std::error::Error + 'static)> {
//! #                $source
//! #            }
//! #        }
//! #    };
//! }
//!
//! // `TopLevel` is caused by a `MidLevel`.
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct TopLevel;
//! impl_error!(TopLevel, "top level", Some(&MidLevel));
//!
//! // `MidLevel` is caused by a `LowLevel`.
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct MidLevel;
//! impl_error!(MidLevel, "mid level", Some(&LowLevel));
//!
//! // `LowLevel` is the cause itself.
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! struct LowLevel;
//! impl_error!(LowLevel, "low level", None);
//!
//! // Now let's see how it works:
//! let formatted = display_error_chain::DisplayErrorChain::new(&TopLevel).to_string();
//! assert_eq!(
//!     formatted,
//!     "\
//!top level
//!Caused by:
//!   -> mid level
//!   -> low level"
//! );
//!
//! // Or with `.chain()` helper:
//! use display_error_chain::ErrorChainExt as _;
//! let formatted = TopLevel.chain().to_string();
//! assert_eq!(
//!     formatted,
//!     "\
//!top level
//!Caused by:
//!   -> mid level
//!   -> low level"
//! );
//!
//! // Or even with `.into_chain()` helper to consume the error.
//! use display_error_chain::ErrorChainExt as _;
//! let formatted = TopLevel.into_chain().to_string();
//! assert_eq!(
//!     formatted,
//!     "\
//!top level
//!Caused by:
//!   -> mid level
//!   -> low level"
//! );
//! ```
