//! Ergonomic macros for creating lazy or structured [`ErrorContext`](crate::types::ErrorContext).
//!
//! These macros provide convenient shortcuts for attaching rich metadata to errors:
//!
//! - [`macro@crate::rail`] - Wraps a `Result`-producing block and converts it into a
//!   [`BoxedComposableResult`](crate::types::BoxedComposableResult) via `ErrorPipeline::finish`.
//! - [`macro@crate::context`] - Defers formatting until the context is consumed, avoiding
//!   unnecessary allocations on the success path.
//! - [`macro@crate::location`] - Automatically captures the current file path and line number
//!   using `file!()` and `line!()`.
//! - [`macro@crate::tag`] - Attaches a short categorical label for filtering and searching.
//! - [`macro@crate::group`] - Creates a lazily-evaluated grouped context that combines
//!   multiple fields (message, tags, location, metadata) into one cohesive unit while deferring
//!   all formatting until the error occurs.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use error_rail::{context, rail, group, ErrorPipeline};
//!
//! let result: Result<(), &str> = Err("failed");
//! let pipeline = ErrorPipeline::new(result)
//!     .with_context(context!("user_id: {}", 123))
//!     .with_context(group!(
//!         tag("auth"),
//!         location(file!(), line!()),
//!         metadata("retry_count", "3")
//!     ))
//!     .finish_boxed();
//!
//! // Equivalent rail! shorthand that also returns a boxed composable result
//! let _ = rail!({
//!     Err::<(), &str>("failed")
//!         .map_err(|err| err)
//! });
//! ```

/// Wraps a `Result`-producing expression or block and converts it into a
/// [`BoxedComposableResult`](crate::types::BoxedComposableResult).
///
/// This macro provides a convenient shorthand for creating an [`ErrorPipeline`](crate::ErrorPipeline)
/// and immediately calling `finish()` to box the result. It accepts either a single expression
/// or a block of code that produces a `Result`.
///
/// # Syntax
///
/// - `rail!(expr)` - Wraps a single `Result`-producing expression
/// - `rail!({ ... })` - Wraps a block that produces a `Result`
///
/// # Returns
///
/// A [`BoxedComposableResult<T, E>`](crate::types::BoxedComposableResult) where the error type
/// is wrapped in a [`ComposableError`](crate::types::ComposableError).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use error_rail::{rail, group};
///
/// // Simple expression
/// let result = rail!(Err::<(), &str>("failed"));
/// assert!(result.is_err());
///
/// // Block syntax with multiple statements
/// let result = rail!({
///     let value = std::fs::read_to_string("config.txt");
///     value
/// });
///
/// // Using with group! macro for structured context
/// let result = rail!({
///     std::fs::read_to_string("config.txt")
/// })
/// .map_err(|e| e.with_context(group!(
///     tag("config"),
///     location(file!(), line!()),
///     metadata("file", "config.txt")
/// )));
/// ```
