// NOTE: This macro works with any result type that has the expected APIs.
//       It's designed with AK::Result and AK::Error in mind.
//
//       It depends on a non-standard C++ extension, specifically
//       on statement expressions [1]. This is known to be implemented
//       by at least clang and gcc.
//       [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Statement-Exprs.html
//
//       If the static_assert below is triggered, it means you tried to return a reference
//       from a fallible expression. This will not do what you want; the statement expression
//       will create a copy regardless, so it is explicitly disallowed.
