/// **What it does:** Checks for public functions that return a `Result`

/// implements [`std::error::Error`].
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Unit does not implement `Error` and carries no
/// further information about what went wrong.
///
/// **Known problems:** Of course, this lint assumes that `Result` is used
/// for a fallible operation (which is after all the intended use). However
/// code may opt to (mis)use it as a basic two-variant-enum. In that case,
/// the suggestion is misguided, and the code should use a custom enum
/// instead.
///
/// **Examples:**
/// ```rust
/// pub fn read_u8() -> Result<u8, ()> { Err(()) }
/// ```
/// should become
/// ```rust,should_panic
/// use std::fmt;
///
/// #[derive(Debug)]
/// pub struct EndOfStream;
///
/// impl fmt::Display for EndOfStream {
/// fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
/// write!(f, "End of Stream")
/// }
/// }
///
/// impl std::error::Error for EndOfStream { }
///
/// pub fn read_u8() -> Result<u8, EndOfStream> { Err(EndOfStream) }
///# fn main() {
///# read_u8().unwrap();
///# }
/// ```
///
/// Note that there are crates that simplify creating the error type, e.g.
/// [`thiserror`](https://docs.rs/thiserror).
