Errors and warnings

lbd never changes or drops data silently. Input it can't store raises an error; input it stores but not exactly as given (or a file with parts it can't read) gives a warning.

	When
LBDError	Invalid names, shapes or types; lossy conversions to a forced dtype; a file that isn't LBD or breaks the format rules; metadata that can't be stored.
LBDVersionError	The file's major format version is newer than this module.
TypeError	An argument of the wrong type, e.g. a number as unit.
LBDWarning	Long double stored as float64; an axis that isn't sorted; a file from a newer minor version; a saved view or metadata that is partly unreadable.

To silence LBD's warnings on purpose (not recommended while developing):

import warnings
import lbd

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=lbd.LBDWarning)

::: lbd.LBDError options: heading_level: 3

::: lbd.LBDVersionError options: heading_level: 3

::: lbd.LBDWarning options: heading_level: 3
