Subject: [PATCH] address review feedback

Adjust error text and naming to conform with best practices.
Use `map_err()` instead of `or()`. Wrap lower-level errors instead of
ignoring their details.

Also, don't "cheat" by bypassing the `new()` function in tests.

Fix a dangling reference in the try_from_into hints.
