I agree with Xiaodi. If your opinion is that we should have a generic `Either` type over a "biased" `Result` type, that's totally reasonable feedback to leave here, but this is not the place to debate an actual design for an `Either` type or a general structural-sums feature.

Also, the review period for this proposal is technically over.
