+/// # Why not `failure`/`error-chain`?
+///
+/// Error from `error-chain` are not `Sync` which
+/// can lead to problems e.g. when this is used
+/// by a crate which use `failure`. Implementing
+/// `Fail` on the other hand prevents the implementation
+/// of `std::error::Error` until specialization lands
+/// on stable. While errors impl. `Fail` can be
+/// converted to a type impl. `std::error::Error`
+/// using a adapter the benefits `failure` would
+/// bring to this crate are small, which is why
+/// `std::error::Error` was used.
