## p5-Return-Value-1.666005p1 – polymorphic return values

## Description

    Polymorphic return values are really useful. Often, we just want to know
    if something worked or not. Other times, we'd like to know what the
    error text was. Still others, we may want to know what the error code
    was, and what the error properties were. We don't want to handle objects
    or data structures for every single return value, but we do want to
    check error conditions in our code because that's what good programmers
    do.

    When functions are successful they may return true, or perhaps some
    useful data. In the quest to provide consistent return values, this gets
    confusing between complex, informational errors and successful return
    values.

    This module provides these features with a simple API that should get
    you what you're looking for in each context a return value is used in.
