Subject: [PATCH 04/38] Major improvements

- Catchers now carry `TypeId` and type name for collision detection
- Transient updated to 0.3, with new derive macro
- Added `Transient` or `Static` implementations for error types
- CI should now pass

+/// To make catchers more expressive and powerful, they can catch specific

+/// [`FromSegments`], [`FromForm`], or [`FromData`] implementation fails or

+/// Only a single error type can be carried by a request - if a route forwards,
+/// and another route is attempted, any error produced by the second route
+/// overwrites the first.
+///
+/// ## Custom error types
+///
+/// All[^transient-impls] error types that Rocket itself produces implement
+/// `Transient`, and can therefore be caught by a typed catcher. If you have
+/// a custom guard of any type, you can implement `Transient` using the derive
+/// macro provided by the `transient` crate. If the error type has lifetimes,
+/// please read the documentation for the `Transient` derive macro - although it
+/// prevents any unsafe implementation, it's not the easiest to use. Note that
+/// Rocket upcasts the type to `dyn Any<Co<'r>>`, where `'r` is the lifetime of
+/// the `Request`, so any `Transient` impl must be able to trancend to `Co<'r>`,
+/// and desend from `Co<'r>` at the catcher.

+### Additional parameters.
+
+Catchers provide two special parameters: `status` and `error`. `status` provides
+access to the status code, which is primarily useful for [default catchers](#default-catchers).
+`error` provides access the error values returned by a [`FromRequest`], [`FromData`] or [`FromParam`].
+It only provides access to the most recent error, so if a route forwards, and another route is
+attempted, only the error produced by the most recent attempt can be extracted. The `error` type
+must implement [`Transient`], a non-static re-implementation of [`std::and::Any`]. (Almost) All errror
+types returned by built-in guards implement [`Transient`], and can therefore be extracted. See
+[the `Transient` derive](@api/master/rocket/catcher/derive.Transient.html) for more information
+on implementing [`Transient`] for custom error types.

+The function arguement must be a reference to the error type expected. See the

Subject: [PATCH 25/38] Fix safety issues & comments

- The previous `on_request` was unsafe, now uses a separate
  `filter_request` method to ensure `error` only contains
  immutable borrows of `Request`.
- Added full safety comments and arguements to `erased`.
- Added extra logic to upgrade, to prevent upgrading if an
  error has been thrown.

+## Typed Errors and Catchers
+
+Whenever a guard fails with a type, such as a `FromParam`, `FromRequest`, etc
+implementation, the error type is boxed up, and can be retrieved by catchers.
+This well-requested feature makes providing useful error types much easier.
+
+The following example mounts a single route, and a catcher that will catch any
+invalid integer parameters. The catcher then formats the error into a JSON
+object and returns it.
+
+TODO: add tests, and make this run?
+```rust,no_run
+# #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
+use std::num::ParseIntError;
+
+use rocket::Responder;
+use rocket::serde::{Serialize, json::Json};
+use rocket::request::FromParamError;
+
+#[derive(Responder)]
+#[response(status = 422)]
+struct ParameterError<T>(T);
+
+#[derive(Serialize)]
+#[serde(crate = "rocket::serde")]
+struct ErrorInfo<'a> {
+    invalid_value: &'a str,
+    description: String,
+}
+
+#[catch(422, error = "<int_error>")]
+fn catch_invalid_int<'a>(
+    // `&ParseIntError` would also work here, but `&FromParamError<ParseIntError>`
+    // also gives us access to `raw`, the specific segment that failed to parse.
+    int_error: &FromParamError<'a, ParseIntError>
+) -> ParameterError<Json<ErrorInfo<'a>>> {
+    ParameterError(Json(ErrorInfo {
+        invalid_value: int_error.raw,
+        description: format!("{}", int_error.error),
+    }))
+}
+
+/// A simple route with a single parameter. If you pass this a valid `u8`,
+/// it will return a string. However, if you pass it something invalid as a `u8`,
+/// such as `-1`, `1234`, or `apple`, the catcher above will be respond with
+/// details on the error.
+#[get("/<number>")]
+fn number(number: u8) -> String {

+
+```rust
+# #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
+# fn main() {}
+# use rocket::http::uri::Origin;
+#[catch(404)]
+fn not_found(uri: &Origin<'_>) -> String {
+    format!("{} does not exist.", uri)
+}
+```
+
+A typed catcher is very similar, but specifies an error parameter. This must be
+a reference to the error type. A catcher to respond when an invalid integer in
+a parameter was specified might look something like this:
+
+```rust
+# #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
+# fn main() {}
+# use rocket::request::FromParamError;
+# use std::num::ParseIntError;
+#[catch(422, error = "<e>")]
+fn invalid_int(e: &FromParamError<'_, ParseIntError>) -> String {
+    format!("{} is not a valid int. {}", e.raw, e.error)
+}
+```
+
+TODO: the following is old
+
 Responders may fail instead of generating a response by returning an `Err` with
 a status code. When this happens, Rocket forwards the request to the [error
 catcher](../requests/#error-catchers) for that status code.
