This PR adds two functions,
Wrap
andWrapf
, that allow one to wrap an error with additional context while still preserving the underlying type of the error. These functions address the problem that one cannot usefmt.Errorf
to wrap errors because that loses the type information of the error which is being wrapped. One can accomplish the same thing currently withNewRenamedError
andWrap
andWrapf
aim to make such tasks easier to perform.
