errors

Module errors provides functions for creating error values.

Comparison with Go

Risor error values are similar to those in Go, in that they are values that represent an error condition. However, error handling is different in Risor because it has the concept of raising and catching errors.

This approach has two main benefits in Risor:

1. It keeps Risor code more concise, which is desirable for a scripting language.
2. The fact that functions in Risor always return exactly one value means that function results can be piped without having to check for errors.
