// Package multierr allows combining one or more errors together.
//
// # Overview
//
// Errors can be combined with the use of the Combine function.
//
//	multierr.Combine(
//		reader.Close(),
//		writer.Close(),
//		conn.Close(),
//	)
//
// If only two errors are being combined, the Append function may be used
// instead.
//
//	err = multierr.Append(reader.Close(), writer.Close())
//
// The underlying list of errors for a returned error object may be retrieved
// with the Errors function.
//
//	errors := multierr.Errors(err)
//	if len(errors) > 0 {
//		fmt.Println("The following errors occurred:", errors)
//	}
//
// # Appending from a loop
//
// You sometimes need to append into an error from a loop.
//
//	var err error
//	for _, item := range items {
//		err = multierr.Append(err, process(item))
//	}
//
// Cases like this may require knowledge of whether an individual instance
// failed. This usually requires introduction of a new variable.
//
//	var err error
//	for _, item := range items {
//		if perr := process(item); perr != nil {
//			log.Warn("skipping item", item)
//			err = multierr.Append(err, perr)
//		}
//	}
//
// multierr includes AppendInto to simplify cases like this.
//
//	var err error
//	for _, item := range items {
//		if multierr.AppendInto(&err, process(item)) {
//			log.Warn("skipping item", item)
//		}
//	}
//
// This will append the error into the err variable, and return true if that
// individual error was non-nil.
//
// See [AppendInto] for more information.
//
// # Deferred Functions
//
// Go makes it possible to modify the return value of a function in a defer
// block if the function was using named returns. This makes it possible to
// record resource cleanup failures from deferred blocks.
//
//	func sendRequest(req Request) (err error) {
//		conn, err := openConnection()
//		if err != nil {
//			return err
//		}
//		defer func() {
//			err = multierr.Append(err, conn.Close())
//		}()
//		// ...
//	}
//
// multierr provides the Invoker type and AppendInvoke function to make cases
// like the above simpler and obviate the need for a closure. The following is
// roughly equivalent to the example above.
//
//	func sendRequest(req Request) (err error) {
//		conn, err := openConnection()
//		if err != nil {
//			return err
//		}
//		defer multierr.AppendInvoke(&err, multierr.Close(conn))
//		// ...
//	}
//
// See [AppendInvoke] and [Invoker] for more information.
//
// NOTE: If you're modifying an error from inside a defer, you MUST use a named
// return value for that function.
//
// # Advanced Usage
//
// Errors returned by Combine and Append MAY implement the following
// method.
//
//	// Returns a slice containing the underlying list of errors.
//	//
//	// This slice MUST NOT be modified by the caller.
//	Unwrap() []error
//
// Note that if you need access to list of errors behind a multierr error, you
// should prefer using the [Errors] function. That said, if you need cheap
// read-only access to the underlying errors slice, you can attempt to cast
// the error to this interface. You MUST handle the failure case gracefully
// because errors returned by Combine and Append are not guaranteed to
// implement this interface.
//
//	var errors []error
//	group, ok := err.(interface{ Unwrap() []error })
//	if ok {
//		errors = group.Errors()
//	} else {
//		errors = []error{err}
