// AsErrorType finds the first error in err's tree that matches the type E,

// The tree consists of err itself, followed by the errors obtained by
// repeatedly calling its Unwrap() error or Unwrap() []error method.
// When err wraps multiple errors, AsErrorType examines err followed by a
// depth-first traversal of its children.
//
// An error err matches the type E if the type assertion err.(E) holds,
// or if the error has a method As(any) bool such that err.As(target)
// returns true when target is a non-nil *E. In the latter case, the As
// method is responsible for setting target.
