Why anyhow::Result instead of std::result::Result?

[coder0xff]

I'm guessing anyhow::Result does something really important that std::result::Result doesn't do. What is it?

does something really important

No. I choose it initially because of the convenience that anyhow brings ;)

However, std Result has no problems and can be supported. Here is a PR about it: #582

Rust is new to me. I'd appreciate your sharing more of your insights on the advantages.

Maybe have a look at the anyhow doc itself, and google why people use it in (normal) rust projects. That said, I totally agree that std Result is more general and thus powerful. The #582 is almost done (but a bit out of date), so if you are interested, feel free to continue on the PR!
