I guess you might have to if you need to use a library someone's written that doesn't implement the standard.

Writing primarily applications, I couldn't tell you what error handling frameworks my dependencies are using: I literally don't know, and haven't needed to know in order to display, fail, or succeed.

EDIT to add: I use anyhow for this, so I should also add "add context to an error when I fall" to the list of things I do.

What's the standard? I'm not being snarky; I'm going down the thought process of how this would work in practice.

I am on team Io Error [on std rust]", somewhat arbitrarily. If I call a lib that is on Team Anyhow, or Team Custom Error Enum, I will have to do some (Straightfoward, but a little clumsy) conversions if I want ? to work. This is complicated by being able to impl From<ErrorType1> for ErrorType2 only in one direction if you don't control the other crate. (due to the orphan rule)
