+ * Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
+ *
+ * Create an error:
+ *     error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
+ *
+ * Report an error to stderr:
+ *     error_report_err(err);
+ * This frees the error object.
+ *
+ * Report an error somewhere else:
+ *     const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
+ *     do with msg what needs to be done...
+ *     error_free(err);
+ *
+ * Handle an error without reporting it (just for completeness):
+ *     error_free(err);
+ *
+ * Assert that an expected error occurred, but clean it up without
+ * reporting it (primarily useful in testsuites):
+ *     error_free_or_abort(&err);
+ *
+ * Pass an existing error to the caller:
+ *     error_propagate(errp, err);
+ * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
+ *
+ * Create a new error and pass it to the caller:
+ *     error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
+ *
+ * Call a function and receive an error from it:
+ *     Error *err = NULL;
+ *     foo(arg, &err);
+ *     if (err) {
+ *         handle the error...
+ *     }
+ *
+ * Call a function ignoring errors:
+ *     foo(arg, NULL);
+ *
+ * Call a function aborting on errors:
+ *     foo(arg, &error_abort);
+ *
+ * Call a function treating errors as fatal:
+ *     foo(arg, &error_fatal);
+ *
+ * Receive an error and pass it on to the caller:
+ *     Error *err = NULL;
+ *     foo(arg, &err);
+ *     if (err) {
+ *         handle the error...
+ *         error_propagate(errp, err);
+ *     }
+ * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
+ *
+ * Do *not* "optimize" this to
+ *     foo(arg, errp);
+ *     if (*errp) { // WRONG!
+ *         handle the error...
+ *     }
+ * because errp may be NULL!
+ *
+ * But when all you do with the error is pass it on, please use
+ *     foo(arg, errp);
+ * for readability.
