Concurrent Error Handling

Error handling for functions that return a channel and no error is done with a callback. This callback is called ConcurrentErrorHandler and in some cases, a struct may have a SetErrorHandler function.

canvas.ConcurrentErrorHandler = func(e error) error {
    if canvas.IsRateLimit(e) {
        fmt.Println("rate limit reached")
        return nil
    }
    return e
}
for f := range canvas.Files() {
    fmt.Println(f.Filename, f.ID)
}
