### Agree on and define common error handling terminology

- Recoverable error: An error that can reasonably be expected to be encountered e.g. a missing file.
- Unrecoverable error: An error that cannot reasonably be expected to happen and which indicates a bug e.g. indexing out of bounds.
- Recoverable error: An error that can be reacted and recovered from when encountered e.g. a missing file.
- Unrecoverable error: An error that cannot reasonably be reacted to or recovered from and which indicates a bug e.g. indexing out of bounds.
- Error Type: A type that represents a recoverable error. Error types can optionally implement the `Error` trait so that it can be reported to the user or be converted into a trait object.
- Reporting Type: A type that can store all recoverable errors an application may need to propagate and print them as error reports.
- Reporting types can represent the recoverable errors either via concrete types, likely parameterized, or trait objects.
