 the [`format!`] syntax. That payload is used when injecting the panic into
 the calling Rust thread, causing the thread to panic entirely.

 call. You can override the panic hook using [`std::panic::set_hook()`].

+Inside the hook a panic can be accessed as a `&dyn Any + Send`, which
 which contains either a `&str` or `String` for regular `panic!()` invocations.
 To panic with a value of another other type, [`panic_any`] can be used.
