//! # Error Accumulation Framework
//!
//! This crate provides [`Validation`], an alternative to the standard library [`Result`] type.
//! A function that returns a [`Result`] may succeed or fail with a single error. In contrast,
//! [`Validation`] is used for processes that can produce an numbers of errors that do no
//! necessarily cause processing to terminate. A function that returns a [`Validation`] may
//! succeed (returning a value and no error), return a value and an error (indicating that
//! processing may continue despite the error) or return an unconditional error (indicating that
//! processing cannot continue).
//!
//! Validations are composed as the process continues, therefore the error type must be composable
//! that errors can be accumulated. Typically, the error type of a [`Validation`] will be a
//! collection of error values and the composition operation will take the union of the two collections.
