+// ErrorCollector can be used to group several error calls into one call.
+// It is mostly useful in GORM migrations, where you should return only one errors, but several can occur.
+// Error messages are composed into one message. For example:
+// 		err := core.ErrorCollector(
+// 			errors.New("first"),
+// 			errors.New("second")
+// 		)
+//
+// 		// Will output `first < second`
+// 		fmt.Println(err.Error())
+// Example with GORM migration, returns one migration error with all error messages:
+// 		return core.ErrorCollector(
+// 			db.CreateTable(models.Account{}, models.Connection{}).Error,
+// 			db.Table("account").AddUniqueIndex("account_key", "channel").Error,
