+// As is a variant of errors.As() that leverages generics to present a nicer interface.
+//
+//	//this code:
+//	var perr os.PathError
+//	if errors.As(err, &perr) {
+//		handle(perr)
+//	}
+//	//can be rewritten as:
+//	if perr, ok := errext.As[os.PathError](err); ok {
+//		handle(perr)
+//	}
+//
+// This is sometimes more verbose (like in this example), but allows to scope
+// the specific error variable to the condition's then-branch, and also looks
+// more idiomatic to developers already familiar with type casts.
