### Contextualized errors
When most decoding errors occur, go-toml returns [`DecodeError`][decode-err]),

### Commented config
Since TOML is often used for configuration files, go-toml can emit documents
annotated with [comments and commented-out values][comments-example]. For
example, it can generate the following file:
```toml
# Host IP to connect to.
host = '127.0.0.1'
# Port of the remote server.
port = 4242
# Encryption parameters (optional)
# [TLS]
# cipher = 'AEAD-AES128-GCM-SHA256'
# version = 'TLS 1.3'
