Make errors types adjustable

Question

Make errors types adjustable

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 4 comments

Currently everything is a Box<dyn Error>, but as default template arguments for classes exist, we might make that a template argument with the default to Box<dyn Error>.

Reasoning is that this simplifies passing errors from subsystems to this crate and back to the user again, without the user having to resort to weird runtime matching to get the original error type back.
