+//! Example of how to create a node with custom middleware that alters a returned error message from
+//! the RPC
+//!
+//! Run with
+//!
+//! ```sh
+//! cargo run -p example-custom-rpc-middleware node --http --dev --dev.block-time 12s --http.api=debug,eth
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Then make an RPC request that will result in an error
+//!
+//! ```sh
+//! curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \
+//!  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+//!  -d '{
+//!    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+//!    "method": "debug_getRawBlock",
+//!    "params": ["2"],
+//!   "id": 1
+//! }' | jq
+//! ```
