Multiple errors can be composed into a single error with the Compose function, or a single error can be extended by adding context using the Extend function. The result can be checked for the presence of a specific error using Contains. If any of the underlying composed or extended errors or extensions match, Contains will return true. . This package is especially beneficial during testing, where you may wish to check for presence of a specific error, but that specific error may be extending another error or may have been extended by another function somewhere else in the call stack.
