I found this funny.

The context is as explained by @[email protected]

the issue is that you can't return from inside a closure, since the closure might be called later/elsewhere

and this post was the asnwer to the question by @[email protected]

you got me curious what the record for the longest ? operator chain on crates.io is

runtime, the point is so that you can see if the types align and then come back and fill in the function bodies later
