/// A trait for customizing the behavior of the `?` operator.

/// A type implementing `Try` is one that has a canonical way to view it
/// in terms of a success/failure dichotomy. This trait allows both
/// extracting those success or failure values from an existing instance and
/// creating a new instance from a success or failure value.
