Improvements on the existing solutions include:
- Relaxed constraints on nullable types (both the `value` and `error` can be
typed as nullable)
- Relaxed constraints on the `error` type to not inherit from `Exception`
- Complete feature parity with Result types from other languages including Elm,
Haskell, & Rust
- Lax constraints on `value`/`error` nullability
- Lax constraints on the `error` type's (does not inherit from `Exception`)
- Top level `Ok` and `Error` classes avoids qualifying usages with
`Result.Ok`/`Result.Error` respectively
- Higher-order functions marked with the `inline` keyword for reduced runtime

## Getting Started
The [unit tests][unit-tests] are a good source of examples for using the library
as they cover every avaiable method.
