Carol (Nichols || Goulding) 65cc4cf12c Add jleedev's try!, From, and Error exercise!
Made some modifications to clarify the structure since this is a bigger
example, also added some more hints.

Name it errorsn since I think we could still use more exercises between
errors1 and errorsn, but I've been sitting on these too long as it is :)

// This is a bigger error exercise than the previous ones!
//
// Edit the `read_and_validate` function so that it compiles and
// passes the tests... so many things could go wrong!
//
// - Reading from stdin could produce an io::Error
// - Parsing the input could produce a num::ParseIntError
// - Validating the input could produce a CreationError (defined below)
//
// How can we lump these errors into one general error? That is, what
// type goes where the question marks are, and how do we return
// that type from the body of read_and_validate?
//
// Scroll down for hints :)

// First hint: To figure out what type should go where the ??? is, take a look
// at the test helper function `test_with_str`, since it returns whatever
// `read_and_validate` returns and`test_with_str` has its signature fully
// specified.
// Next hint: anywhere in `read_and_validate` that we call a function that
// returns a `Result`, wrap that call in a `try!` macro call. Use the compiler
// error messages and warnings to guide you to all the places you need to do
// this. You might need to rewrap some `try!` return values in a `Result::Ok`!
// This works because under the hood, the `try!` macro calls `From::from`
// on the error value to convert it to a boxed trait object, a Box<error::Error>,
// which is polymorphic.
