// Cause recursively unwraps an error chain and returns the underlying cause of
// the error, if possible. There are two ways that an error value may provide a
// cause. First, the error may implement the following interface:
//
// type causer interface {
// Cause() error
// }
//
// Second, the error may return a non-nil value when passed as an argument to
// the Unwrap function. This makes Cause forwards-compatible with Go 1.13 error
// chains.
//
// If an error value satisfies both methods of unwrapping, Cause will use the
// causer interface.
//
// If the error is nil, nil will be returned without further investigation.
