The anyhow crate works very well as a drop-in substitute for failure. One notable API difference: the anyhow crate uses anyhow! instead of format_err!. format_err! seems like a more self-explanatory and generic name, and one more suited to #13 in the future as well. Would you consider providing format_err! as an equivalent to anyhow!?

Sure thing, I agree that's likely the name this would be given if it were going into std.
