The automated checking in llvm::Expected is not guaranteed to happen (it is 
behind LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS). If you are not happy with the error 
from `cantFail` I think everyone would appreciate an improvement there.

I don't understand. It is not propagating anything up, it is just crashing in 
the destructor.
