    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** This map_err throws away the original error rather than allowing the enum to contain and report the cause of the error

    /// **Known problems:** None.

    /// **Example:**
    /// Before:
    /// ```rust
    /// use std::fmt;
    ///
    /// #[derive(Debug)]
    /// enum Error {
    ///     Indivisible,

    /// }
    ///
    /// impl fmt::Display for Error {
    ///     fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
    ///         match self {
    ///             Error::Indivisible => write!(f, "could not divide input by three"),
