expectations is an error-handling library that lets you bundle

Result<T, E> [1] and C++'s proposed std::expected. [2] If
you're not familiar with those, Andrei's NDC Oslo talk,
"Expect the Expected" [3], explains the advantages of this
approach to error handling in considerable detail.
Incidentally, I've already proposed `Expected` into Phobos
std.experimental.typecons here
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/6686
Is it ok if I try to merge your effort into this pull request?
I don't think expectations has reached a high enough level of
quality yet to be ready for inclusion in Phobos. However, if
you'd like to submit it for comments as a WIP, or use it as a
reference for your own implementation, that's completely fine,
and I'd be happy to help you.
