@Mara@hachyderm.io yes please! 💯
I had a design where the || and && operators were overloadable, and there, res.unwrap() turned into
res || panic!()
and res.unwrap_or(default_value) into
res || default_value
and res.unwrap_or_else(callback) into
res || callback()
But if you're not doing that, renaming the methods would be great.

@bugaevc@floss.social How would `res || panic!("oh no")` show the Err value in the panic message? res.unwrap() and res.expect("oh no") both show the Err value.

@bugaevc@floss.social @Mara@hachyderm.io So... || is just a postfix closure with no `.`, conditionally invoked on the lhs producing a failure value (right now only `false` is supported 😀)
