Re: [MirageOS-devel] Error handling in Mirage - request for comments!

[Christophe Troestler <Christophe.Troestler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regardless of the final scheme adopted for error handling, it seems
that a type such as Result.t is important to share among libraries.
Since depending on Core_kernel will stir debate, why not release an
OPAM package "result" declaring Result.t together with a few useful
functions (including monadic combinators) and ask Jane Street if they
would agree that Core_kernel reexports it in order to be compatible?
I know that one could dispense with that using polymorphic variants
but, apart from the better efficiency, I think the slightly stricter
type checking would also be beneficial.

What do you think?
