This módulo was adapted from Módulo:Protect on Wikipedia.
Adaptation is noted for reference and attribution only. This módulo may differ from the original in function or in usage.

This metamodule simplifies error handling in other modules. It transforms a function, which may throw an error, into a function, which returns a specified error message in that case.
