//! A service combinator that sends requests to a first service, then retries
//! processing on a second fallback service if the first service errors.
//!
//! Fallback designs have [a number of downsides][aws-fallback] but may be useful
//! in some cases. For instance, when using batch verification, the `Fallback`
//! wrapper can be used to fall back to individual verification of each item when
//! a batch fails to verify.
//!
//! TODO: compare with similar code in linkerd.
