Subject: [boost] [outcome] Some documentation suggestions
From: Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira (vini.ipsmaker_at_[hidden])

Maybe I could send some PRs later (I've already sent one a few moments
ago). But, for now, I'll have to postpone.

Notes:

   - You put too much focus in "open (error) type hierarchies" (e.g.
   `error_code`). Not a problem. Also, do not change anything just because
   this comment. Really, it is not a problem.
   - The beginning of the documentation gave me the impression that I could
   only use EC types that were convertible to `std::error_code`[1], “it need
   in fact to merely satisfy trait::has_error_code_v<EC>”. Later pages
   corrected my understanding.
   - “only works when the EC type is the same in the try expression as the
   calling function”[2] is misleading. `OUTCOME_TRYV(outcome::result<int,
   err>{err::success})` works inside a function returning
   `outcome::result<void>` given `err` is convertible to `std::error_code`.
