I want to define a tripartite `Result` type which represents success, expected failure and unexpected failure (not for the first time I've tried but I have union types now!). It would be nice if I could find three equal-length words which convey these concepts. Which do you like?
-
Are they commonly called success, error and fatal, aren't they? Or "ok", "ko", "rip" may also work..
The last one doesn't necessarily mean "fatal", as it might be recoverable or diagnosable. It's just "some exception that wasn't expected".

By the way, this is why I don't really like my own suggestion of `Crash`...
-
on recovering from unexpected error I have my doubts, how to manage unexpected result? except if you can restart the whole thing, like using retry policies..I don't know..maybe 3 types are not enough? you need expected, recoverable and unrecoverable error?
