/*

   This file defines two main structs/classes used in nix error handling.

   ErrorInfo provides a standard payload of error information, with conversion to string
   happening in the logger rather than at the call site.

   BaseError is the ancestor of nix specific exceptions (and Interrupted), and contains
   an ErrorInfo.

   ErrorInfo structs are sent to the logger as part of an exception, or directly with the
   logError or logWarning macros.

   See the error-demo.cc program for usage examples.
