+///
+/// In application code, use `match` for the `ErrorKind` values you are
+/// expecting; use `_` to match "all other errors".
+///
+/// In comprehensive and thorough tests that want to verify that a test doesn't
+/// return any known incorrect error kind, you may want to cut-and-paste the
+/// current full list of errors from here into your test code, and then match
+/// `_` as the correct case. This seems counterintuitive, but it will make your
+/// tests more robust. In particular, if you want to verify that your code does
+/// produce an unrecognized error kind, the robust solution is to check for all
+/// the recognized error kinds and fail in those cases.
