gollark: So it should zerocostify™ `Result`s to... I don't know, C-style error codes somehow?
gollark: This is *far* superior to the foolish "return NULL or return an error code or return minus an error code or set some pointer or global to an error code" of past languages.
gollark: Yes. `fs::File::create` can fail. Thusly, it returns `Result<fs::File, io::Error>`.
gollark: And pass `Result`s around.
gollark: Well, it has to monomorphise all the trait things.
