//! # Easy-error
//!
//! This crate is a lightweight error handling library meant to play well with
//! the standard `Error` trait. It is designed for quick prototyping or for
//! Command-line applications where any error will simply bubble up to the user.
//! There are four major components of this crate:
//!
//! 1. A basic, string-based error type that is meant for either quick
//!    prototyping or human-facing errors.
//! 2. A nice way to iterate over the causes of an error.
//! 3. Some macros that make returning errors slightly more ergonomic.
//! 4. A "termination" type that produces nicely formatted error messages when
//!    returned from the `main` function.
//!
//! ## Rust Version Requirements
//!
//! The current version requires **Rustc 1.46 or newer**.  In general, this
//! crate will be compilable with the Rustc version available on the oldest
//! supported Ubuntu LTS release.  Any change that requires a newer version of
//! Rustc than what is available on the oldest supported Ubuntu LTS will
//! be considered a breaking change.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::{fs::File, io::Read};
//! use easy_error::{bail, ensure, Error, ResultExt, Terminator};
//!
//! fn from_file() -> Result<i32, Error> {
//!     let file_name = "example.txt";
//!     let mut file = File::open(file_name).context("Could not open file")?;
//!
//!     let mut contents = String::new();
//!     file.read_to_string(&mut contents).context("Unable to read file")?;
//!
//!     contents.trim().parse().context("Could not parse file")
//! }
//!
//! fn validate(value: i32) -> Result<(), Error> {
//!     ensure!(value > 0, "Value must be greater than zero (found {})", value);
//!
//!     if value % 2 == 1 {
//!         bail!("Only even numbers can be used");
//!     }
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<(), Terminator> {
//!     let value = from_file().context("Unable to get value from file")?;
//!     validate(value).context("Value is not acceptable")?;
//!
//!     println!("Value = {}", value);
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
