 makeerror
 =========
 
-A library to make errors.
+A library to make errors. Makes an Error constructor function with the signature:
+
+  function(message, data)
+
+You'll typically do something like:
+
+  var makeError = require('makeerror')
+  var UnknownFileTypeError = makeError(
+    'UnknownFileTypeError',
+    'The specified type is not known.'
+  )
+  var er = UnknownFileTypeError()
+
+`er` will have a prototype chain that ensures:
+
+  er instanceof Error
+  er instanceof UnknownFileTypeError
+
+You can also do `var er = new UnknownFileTypeError()` if you really like the
+`new` keyword.
