This is similar to scalaz' Validation structure:
https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz/blob/scalaz-seven/core/src/main/scala/scalaz/Validation.scala
One thing I noticed about Play's API is that it has a flatMap method.
The problem with providing this is it can't accumulate errors, as
demonstrated here:
Failure(Seq("Something", "went")) *> Failure(Seq("wrong"))
// Failure(Seq("Something", "went", "wrong"))
Failure(Seq("Something", "went")) flatMap { _ => Failure(Seq("wrong")) }
// Failure(Seq("Something", "went"))
So flatMap can silently ignore errors. Really not nice. This used to
be a problem in scalaz but it has been deprecated and will be deleted
in the next release.
