This section is a Q&A on various verbosemanager-related topics.

| *Q. What is verbosemanager?*
| A. verbosemanager is a module revolving around the VerboseManager
  class, which provides tools for managing complex processes.

| *Q. What do you mean by ‘complex process’?*
| A. By ‘complex process’ I mean one that takes a particularly long time
  or consists of multiple smaller sub-processes; essentially, any
  algorithm that does enough that you’d like to know what’s going on as
  it runs, or assess the individual parts of it from the user side.

| *Q. Why should I use this instead of another progress bar module?*
| A. Existing modules, like `tqdm <https://tqdm.github.io/>`__ or
  `progressbar2 <https://pypi.org/project/progressbar2/>`__ are amazing
  (I think tqdm’s efficient iterable wrapping is genius) but I felt like
  they’d both taken the niche of progress bars for iterables. This
  module is instead designed for long, user-facing algorithms, such as
  those in scientific software.
