Change of plans. We will allow returning `kotliln.Result` from functions. For checked exceptions there will be another feature, which does not involve `kotlin.Result`. Reason is simple: `kotlin.Result` does not allow specific exceptions, which is needed for checked exceptions. It is not yet clear, how checked exceptions will look like. The best candidate is contextual receivers.
