Should this be added, or should we just direct people to Chessie and obsolete this functionality?

gdziadkiewicz commented 4 years ago

IMO it should be added. Chessie is built around its own type (https://github.com/fsprojects/Chessie/blob/master/src/Chessie/ErrorHandling.fs#L7-L11) that's different from the one exported by FSharp.Core. Result module in FSharp.Extras provides functions and builder to work with Result provided by FSharp.Core.
