darling 0.13.3

//! This example demonstrates techniques for performing custom error handling
//! in a derive-input receiver.
//!
//! 1. Using `darling::Result` as a carrier to preserve the error for later display
//! 1. Using `Result<T, syn::Meta>` to attempt a recovery in imperative code
//! 1. Using the `map` darling meta-item to post-process a field before returning
//! 1. Using the `and_then` darling meta-item to post-process the receiver before returning
