    //! Traits for working with Errors.

    #![stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")]

    // A note about crates and the facade:
    //
    // Originally, the `Error` trait was defined in libcore, and the impls
    // were scattered about. However, coherence objected to this
    // arrangement, because to create the blanket impls for `Box` required
    // knowing that `&str: !Error`, and we have no means to deal with that
    // sort of conflict just now. Therefore, for the time being, we have
    // moved the `Error` trait into libstd. As we evolve a sol'n to the
    // coherence challenge (e.g., specialization, neg impls, etc) we can
    // reconsider what crate these items belong in.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
