/// \file error.h
/// High-level representation of error conditions.
///
/// The error module provides a mechanism to represent error conditions in an
/// efficient manner.  In the case of a successful operation, an error is
/// internally represented as a NULL pointer and thus has no overhead.  In the
/// case of an actual error, the representation is more complex and costly than
/// a traditional libc error number, but is also more verbose.  Because errors
/// are not (or should not be!) in the critical path, this is not a concern.
