//! How to use a panic hook to reset the terminal before printing the panic to
//! the terminal.
//!
//! When exiting normally or when handling `Result::Err`, we can reset the
//! terminal manually at the end of `main` just before we print the error.
//!
//! Because a panic interrupts the normal control flow, manually resetting the
//! terminal at the end of `main` won't do us any good. Instead, we need to
//! make sure to set up a panic hook that first resets the terminal before
//! handling the panic. This both reuses the standard panic hook to ensure a
//! consistent panic handling UX and properly resets the terminal to not
//! distort the output.
//!
//! That's why this example is set up to show both situations, with and without
//! the chained panic hook, to see the difference.
