Question on unwrap_or_default

[lukasstevens]

Just a short question: What is the reason that unwrap_or_default is implemented for Option, but not for Result?

[apasel422]

I'm not sure why the method was left off Result, but it can be written almost as succinctly with:

some_result.unwrap_or_else(Default::default)

[devonhollowood]

Would you consider accepting a pull request which implements unwrap_or_default for Result, or would this need to go through the RFC process?

[leoyvens]

It might not be a good thing to make unwrapping results more ergonomic.

@devonhollowood A guess: it sounds appropriate to be just a PR. The libs team will ask you to "escalate" it to an RFC only if it's needed.

It'd be nice to address this papercut.
