Thanks for sharing your work. I remember there were a few interesting discussions on error handling before (threads [1114](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/error-handling-approaches/1114) and [3050](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/modernising-old-libraries-error-handling/3050) are just two).

There are a few more error handling libraries that define their own derived types, including (in no particular order)

- [GitHub - koenpoppe/ErrorHandlingInFortran2003](https://github.com/koenpoppe/ErrorHandlingInFortran2003)
- [GitHub - jchristopherson/ferror: A library to assist with error handling in Fortran projects.](https://github.com/jchristopherson/ferror)
- [GitHub - samharrison7/fortran-error-handler: Comprehensive error framework for applications requiring functional and robust error handling, utilising the power of modern object-oriented Fortran.](https://github.com/samharrison7/fortran-error-handler) (by @samharrison7)
- [GitHub - everythingfunctional/erloff: Errors and logging for fortran](https://github.com/everythingfunctional/erloff) (by @everythingfunctional)
- [GitHub - degawa/errstat: error status and message handling library for Modern Fortran](https://github.com/degawa/errstat) (by @tomohirodegawa)
- [GitHub - aradi/errorfx: Robust exception like error handling using modern Fortran](https://github.com/aradi/errorfx) (by @aradi, also announced in [ErrorFx: Fortran exception library](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/errorfx-fortran-exception-library/2072))

Can you comment on how does your library differ or what does it do better? What other factors hinder the adoption of a common error handling module (and derived type)?
