### Features
+
- Colorize backtraces to be easier on the eyes
- Show source snippets if source files are found on disk
- Print frames of application code vs dependencies in different color
- Hide all the frames after the panic was already initiated
- Hide language runtime initialization frames
+### Reducing transitive dependencies
+
+It is possible to use the alternative [`btparse`] backtrace capturing backend
+instead of the default route that links [`backtrace`]:
+
+```
+[dependencies]
+color-backtrace = {
+ version = "0.6",
+ default-features = false,
+ features = ["use-btparse-crate"],
+}
+```
+
+This reduces the number of transitive dependencies from around 12 to just 2. So
+why isn't this the default, you may ask? There's a stability tradeoff here:
+`btparse` relies on the **undocumented and unstable** `std::fmt::Debug`
+implementation of `std::backtrace::Backtrace` to remain unchanged. As of writing,
+this has been untouched for 4+ years, but there's no *guarantee* that it will
+always work.

### Usage in tests
Unfortunately, defining custom init functions run before tests are started is
