+/// The `ServerFnError` type is generic over a custom error type, which defaults to `NoCustomError`
+/// for backwards compatibility and to support the most common use case.
+///
+/// A custom error type should implement `FromStr` and `Display`, which allows it to be converted
+/// into and from a string easily to be sent over the network. It does *not* need to implement
+/// `Serialize` and `Deserialize`, although these can be used to generate the `FromStr`/`Display`
+/// implementations if you'd like. However, it's much lighter weight to use something like `strum`
+/// simply to generate those trait implementations.
