a list with a single value e and classes "Result} and \code{"Enum

Examples

grepl_safe <- function(pattern, x)
{
  if (!is.character(pattern)){ return(Err("'pattern' in 'grepl_safe' was not a character value.")) }
  if (!is.character(x)){ return(Err("'x' in 'grepl_safe' was not a character value.")) }
  Ok(grepl(pattern, x))
}

#grepl_safe(123, 1:5)
