    Thanks for naming my biggest problem with writing rust code. Every crate has it’s own particular Result chain, doesn’t it. To the point we have anyhow and eyre to help with this mess.

      My current solution is usually to just make a bunch of stupid match statements and fix whatever clippy complains about. Then if any remain be sure to “accidentally“ tag the friendliest rust expert I know on the PR and see if they say anything.

      edit: They usually say something like, “you could replace those matches with a and_else, map_err, unwrap_or, and_then? and a filter_map.”
