-// Cause recursively unwraps an error chain and returns the underlying cause of

-//     type causer interface {
-//            Cause() error
-//     }
-//
-// Second, the error may return a non-nil value when passed as an argument to
-// the Unwrap function. This makes Cause forwards-compatible with Go 1.13 error
-// chains.
-//
-// If an error value satisfies both methods of unwrapping, Cause will use the
-// causer interface.
-//
-// If the error is nil, nil will be returned without further investigation.
