//! Contains detailed error representation.
//!
//! See the main [`ImageError`] which contains a variant for each specialized error type. The
//! subtypes used in each variant are opaque by design. They can be roughly inspected through their
//! respective `kind` methods which work similar to `std::io::Error::kind`.
//!
//! The error interface makes it possible to inspect the error of an underlying decoder or encoder,
//! through the `Error::source` method. Note that this is not part of the stable interface and you
//! may not rely on a particular error value for a particular operation. This means mainly that
//! `image` does not promise to remain on a particular version of its underlying decoders but if
//! you ensure to use the same version of the dependency (or at least of the error type) through
//! external means then you could inspect the error type in slightly more detail.
