result-type's Issues

Question on expanding the API...

Hello,
First of all, thank you for this package - along with the PHP option package - I love the functional feel they provide.
Not to mention the fact that they come with any project that uses the vlucas/phpdotenv library. I'm primarily a Laravel dev so love the fact that this comes with every install. That said, I'm aware of a lot of your other packages too, and just want give my thanks for all the top-notch work you do.

I often finding myself wishing the Result type had a more extensive API to work with, whether that be having more in common with the php option API or having more of it's own success/error related methods that (more or less) tucks all the error handling logic in the background and allows one to keep method chaining without having to use the error()/success() methods; which, if there's an error, forces one to throw away whatever context is on the 'left' side of the Result.

So I'm curious to know if you're open to adding more methods to this library? If so, and you don't have the time, I'd be willing to submit a PR. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on what would be the ideal if this is the case.
Whatever works.
