I've written a small crate that takes exactly this approach and provides a newtype wrapper around `failure::Error` - [exitfailure](https://crates.io/crates/exitfailure). Lets me just use a `main() -> Result<(), ExitFailure>` and have the pretty printing taken care of.

It's nothing fancy but it saves me writing all that boilerplate for each project.
