// Package errwrap implements methods to formalize error wrapping in Go.
//
// All of the top-level functions that take an `error` are built to be able
// to take any error, not just wrapped errors. This allows you to use errwrap
// without having to type-check and type-cast everywhere.

// functions in errwrap use Walk, this means that all those functions work
