I think not, Im new in programming in Elixir, can we rename "FE.Review" to "FE.These" ?

Hi! Thanks for the interest in the project! The idea behind the name of the Review type is to make it more specific and limit its purpose to assess the output of computation. But not just limited to successful or erroneous output, like in case of FE.Result, but also to indicate that the computation returned something meaningful, but that there were some issues with that computation. We could say that Result is a specific implementation of Either type. In the same vein, Review is a specific implementation of These.
