+// Using catch-all error types like `Box<dyn error::Error>` isn't recommended
+// for library code, where callers might want to make decisions based on the
+// error content, instead of printing it out or propagating it further. Here, we
+// define a custom error type to make it possible for callers to decide what to
+// do next when our function returns an error.
+//
+// Execute `rustlings hint errors6` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a
+// hint.
+
+// I AM NOT DONE
