Overview

Package cerrors provides sentinel error values for common errors that are likely to appear in multiple packages.

Since wrapping errors using the new error handling API of Go creates anonymous errors it is not possible to wrap an existing sentinel error with another sentinel error without loosing the stack trace.

Using shared sentinel errors enables them to be annotated and used across packages borders without the caller having to distinguish between similar errors types of different packages that would otherwise be identical.
