Would this be worth exploring adding to std? about anyhow

[dtolnay]

I am open to that, but since this crate just came out yesterday it's a bit early to say. I think if we still think this is the best possible approach after ~12 months then that could be good justification for a std::error RFC.

Bumping as it's been 14 months (making "later" now) since the above comment. I do feel like this is the best possible approach to Rust error handling. How should exploring adding to std proceed if it is still viable?

[dtolnay]

RFC 2820 has some discussion on a standard type erased error type.

There is also now an error handling project group (https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling) whose purview such a proposal would be under.

The error handling project group clearly knows about this crate, so I don't think I need to keep this issue around. Closing and will leave it to them as far as what goes in std.
