// Package warnings implements error handling with non-fatal errors (warnings).
//
// A recurring pattern in Go programming is the following:
//
//  func myfunc(params) error {
//      if err := doSomething(...); err != nil {
//          return err
//      }
//      if err := doSomethingElse(...); err != nil {
//          return err
//      }
//      if ok := doAnotherThing(...); !ok {
//          return errors.New("my error")
//      }
//      ...
//      return nil
//  }
//
// This pattern allows interrupting the flow on any received error. But what if
// there are errors that should be noted but still not fatal, for which the flow
// should not be interrupted? Implementing such logic at each if statement would
// make the code complex and the flow much harder to follow.
//
// Package warnings provides the Collector type and a clean and simple pattern
// for achieving such logic. The Collector takes care of deciding when to break
// the flow and when to continue, collecting any non-fatal errors (warnings)
// along the way. The only requirement is that fatal and non-fatal errors can be
// distinguished programmatically; that is a function such as
//
//  IsFatal(error) bool
//
// must be implemented. The following is an example of what the above snippet
// could look like using the warnings package:
//
//  import "gopkg.in/warnings.v0"
//
//  func isFatal(err error) bool {
//      _, ok := err.(WarningType)
//      return !ok
//  }
//
//  func myfunc(params) error {
//      c := warnings.NewCollector(isFatal)
//      c.FatalWithWarnings = true
//      if err := c.Collect(doSomething()); err != nil {
//          return err
//      }
//      if err := c.Collect(doSomethingElse(...)); err != nil {
//          return err
//      }
//      if ok := doAnotherThing(...); !ok {
//          if err := c.Collect(errors.New("my error")); err != nil {
//              return err
//          }
//      }
//      ...
//      return c.Done()
//  }
//
// For an example of a non-trivial code base using this library, see
// gopkg.in/gcfg.v1
//
// Rules for using warnings
//
//  - ensure that warnings are programmatically distinguishable from fatal
//    errors (i.e. implement an isFatal function and any necessary error types)
//  - ensure that there is a single Collector instance for a call of each
//    exported function
//  - ensure that all errors (fatal or warning) are fed through Collect
//  - ensure that every time an error is returned, it is one returned by a
//    Collector (from Collect or Done)
//  - ensure that Collect is never called after Done
//
// TODO
//
//  - optionally limit the number of warnings (e.g. stop after 20 warnings) (?)
//  - consider interaction with contexts
//  - go vet-style invocations verifier
//  - semi-automatic code converter
//
