Consider adding "recoverWith" to the Result-module

[Deleted user]

I'm simply requesting you to consider adding this function to the Result-module:

recoverWith : (error - value) -> Result error value -> value
recoverWith toValue result =
    case result of
        Ok value ->
            value

        Err error ->
            toValue error

• I've implemented this function enough times to at least want to make this suggestion.
• withDefault is easily derived from this as recoverWith << always
• The current Result-module doesn't support "recovering" from an error without pattern-matching directly.
• elm-community/result-extra implements this function as Result.Extra.extract, which isn't very descriptive IMO
