/// Adds the `ref_map()` and `ref_map_err()` extension methods onto [`Result`].
///
/// The `ref_map()` method borrows the internal object and passes it
/// to a closure to be mapped in some way. This allows convenient use
/// of `as_*` type methods or calculations which require the borrowed
/// internal value.
///
/// ```
/// # #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
/// # struct Error;
/// use ref_map::*;
///
/// let answer: Result<Vec<i8>, Error> = Ok(vec![4, 7, 9, 5, 6]);
///
/// let filtered = answer.ref_map(|v| &v[3..]);
/// let answer = &[5, 6];
///
/// assert_eq!(filtered, Ok(&answer[..]));
/// ```
///
/// The `ref_map_err()` provides the same, but on the `Err(_)` variant
/// instead of `Ok(_)`.
///
/// ```
/// # use ref_map::*;
///
/// let answer: Result<(), String> = Err("file not found".into());
///
/// let error = answer.ref_map_err(|s| s.as_str());
///
/// assert_eq!(error, Err("file not found"));
/// ```
///
/// See the crate-level documentation for more information.
///
