//! A wrapper for `NSError`, which can be (and is) bubbled up for certain calls in this library. It
//! attempts to be thread safe where possible, and extract the "default" usable information out of
//! an `NSError`. This might not be what you need, though, so if it's missing something... well,
//! it's up for discussion.
