 * [SMDOC] JS::Result
 *
 * `Result` is used as the return type of many SpiderMonkey functions that
 * can either succeed or fail. See "/mfbt/Result.h".
 *
 *
 * ## Which return type to use
 *
 * `Result` is for return values. Obviously, if you're writing a function that
 * can't fail, don't use Result. Otherwise:
 *
 *     JS::Result<>  - function can fail, doesn't return anything on success
 *         (defaults to `JS::Result<JS::Ok, JS::Error&>`)
 *     JS::Result<JS::OOM&> - like JS::Result<>, but fails only on OOM
 *
 *     JS::Result<Data>  - function can fail, returns Data on success
 *     JS::Result<Data, JS::OOM&>  - returns Data, fails only on OOM
 *
 *     mozilla::GenericErrorResult<JS::Error&> - always fails
 *
 * That last type is like a Result with no success type. It's used for
 * functions like `js::ReportNotFunction` that always return an error
 * result. `GenericErrorResult<E>` implicitly converts to `Result<V, E>`,
 * regardless of V.
 *
 *
 * ## Checking Results when your return type is Result
 *
 * When you call a function that returns a `Result`, use the `MOZ_TRY` macro to
 * check for errors:
 *
 *     MOZ_TRY(DefenestrateObject(cx, obj));
 *
 * If `DefenestrateObject` returns a success result, `MOZ_TRY` is done, and
 * control flows to the next statement. If `DefenestrateObject` returns an
 * error result, `MOZ_TRY` will immediately return it, propagating the error to
 * your caller. It's kind of like exceptions, but more explicit -- you can see
 * in the code exactly where errors can happen.
 *
 * You can do a tail call instead of using `MOZ_TRY`:
 *
 *     return DefenestrateObject(cx, obj);
 *
 * Indicate success with `return Ok();`.
 *
 * If the function returns a value on success, use `MOZ_TRY_VAR` to get it:
 *
 *     RootedValue thrug(cx);
 *     MOZ_TRY_VAR(thrug, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj));
 *
 * This behaves the same as `MOZ_TRY` on error. On success, the success
 * value of `GetObjectThrug(cx, obj)` is assigned to the variable `thrug`.
 *
 *
 * ## Checking Results when your return type is not Result
 *
 * This header defines alternatives to MOZ_TRY and MOZ_TRY_VAR for when you
 * need to call a `Result` function from a function that uses false or nullptr
 * to indicate errors:
 *
 *     JS_TRY_OR_RETURN_FALSE(cx, DefenestrateObject(cx, obj));
 *     JS_TRY_VAR_OR_RETURN_FALSE(cx, v, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj));
 *
 *     JS_TRY_OR_RETURN_NULL(cx, DefenestrateObject(cx, obj));
 *     JS_TRY_VAR_OR_RETURN_NULL(cx, v, GetObjectThrug(cx, obj));
 *
 * When TRY is not what you want, because you need to do some cleanup or
 * recovery on error, use this idiom:
 *
 *     if (!cx->resultToBool(expr_that_is_a_Result)) {
 *         ... your recovery code here ...
 *     }
 *
 * In place of a tail call, you can use one of these methods:
 *
 *     return cx->resultToBool(expr);  // false on error
 *     return cx->resultToPtr(expr);  // null on error
 *
 * Once we are using `Result` everywhere, including in public APIs, all of
 * these will go away.
 *
 *
 * ## GC safety
 *
 * When a function returns a `JS::Result<JSObject*>`, it is the program's
 * responsibility to check for errors and root the object before continuing:
 *
 *     RootedObject wrapper(cx);
 *     MOZ_TRY_VAR(wrapper, Enwrapify(cx, thing));
 *
 * This is ideal. On error, there is no object to root; on success, the
 * assignment to wrapper roots it. GC safety is ensured.
 *
 * `Result` has methods .isOk(), .isErr(), .unwrap(), and .unwrapErr(), but if
 * you're actually using them, it's possible to create a GC hazard. The static
 * analysis will catch it if so, but that's hardly convenient. So try to stick
 * to the idioms shown above.
 *
 *
 * ## Future directions
 *
 * At present, JS::Error and JS::OOM are empty structs. The plan is to make them
 * GC things that contain the actual error information (including the exception
 * value and a saved stack).
 *
 * The long-term plan is to remove JS_IsExceptionPending and
 * JS_GetPendingException in favor of JS::Error. Exception state will no longer
 * exist.
