// errors5.rs
// This program uses an altered version of the code from errors4.
// This exercise uses some concepts that we won't get to until later in the course, like `Box` and the
// `From` trait. It's not important to understand them in detail right now, but you can read ahead if you like.
// For now, think of the `Box<dyn ...>` type as an "I want anything that does ???" type, which, given
// Rust's usual standards for runtime safety, should strike you as somewhat lenient!
// In short, this particular use case for boxes is for when you want to own a value and you care only that it is a
// type which implements a particular trait. To do so, The Box is declared as of type Box<dyn Trait> where Trait is the trait
// the compiler looks for on any value used in that context. For this exercise, that context is the potential errors
// which can be returned in a Result.
// What can we use to describe both errors? In other words, is there a trait which both errors implement?
// Execute `rustlings hint errors5` or use the `hint` watch subcommand for a hint.
// I AM NOT DONE
