//! Success, failure, and forward handling.
//!
//! The `Outcome<S, E, F>` type is similar to the standard library's `Result<S,
//! E>` type. It is an enum with three variants, each containing a value:
//! `Success(S)`, which represents a successful outcome, `Failure(E)`, which
//! represents a failing outcome, and `Forward(F)`, which represents neither a
//! success or failure, but instead, indicates that processing could not be
//! handled and should instead be _forwarded_ to whatever can handle the
//! processing next.
//!
//! The `Outcome` type is the return type of many of the core Rocket traits,
//! including [`FromRequest`](::request::FromRequest),
//! [`FromData`](::data::FromData), and [`Responder`](::response::Responder). It
//! is also the return type of request handlers via the [`Response`] type.
//!
//! # Success
//!
//! A successful `Outcome<S, E, F>`, `Success(S)`, is returned from functions
//! that complete successfully. The meaning of a `Success` outcome depends on
//! the context. For instance, the `Outcome` of the `from_data` method of the
//! `FromData` trait will be matched against the type expected by the user. For
//! example, consider the following handler:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[post("/", data = "<my_val>")]
//! fn hello(my_val: S) -> ... {  }
//! ```
//!
//! The `FromData` implementation for the type `S` returns an `Outcome` with a
//! `Success(S)`. If `from_data` returns a `Success`, the `Success` value will
//! be unwrapped and the value will be used as the value of `my_val`.
//!
//! # Failure
//!
//! A failure `Outcome<S, E, F>`, `Failure(E)`, is returned when a function
//! fails with some error and no processing can or should continue as a result.
//! The meaning of a failure depends on the context.
//!
//! In Rocket, a `Failure` generally means that a request is taken out of normal
//! processing. The request is then given to the catcher corresponding to some
//! status code. Users can catch failures by requesting a type of `Result<S, E>`
//! or `Option<S>` in request handlers. For example, if a user's handler looks
//! like:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[post("/", data = "<my_val>")]
//! fn hello(my_val: Result<S, E>) -> ... {  }
//! ```
//!
//! The `FromData` implementation for the type `S` returns an `Outcome` with a
//! `Success(S)` and `Failure(E)`. If `from_data` returns a `Failure`, the
//! `Failure` value will be unwrapped and the value will be used as the `Err`
//! value of `my_val` while a `Success` will be unwrapped and used the `Ok`
//! value.
//!
//! # Forward
//!
//! A forward `Outcome<S, E, F>`, `Forward(F)`, is returned when a function
//! wants to indicate that the requested processing should be _forwarded_ to the
//! next available processor. Again, the exact meaning depends on the context.
//!
//! In Rocket, a `Forward` generally means that a request is forwarded to the
//! next available request handler. For example, consider the following request
//! handler:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[post("/", data = "<my_val>")]
//! fn hello(my_val: S) -> ... {  }
//! ```
//!
//! The `FromData` implementation for the type `S` returns an `Outcome` with a
//! `Success(S)`, `Failure(E)`, and `Forward(F)`. If the `Outcome` is a
//! `Forward`, the `hello` handler isn't called. Instead, the incoming request
//! is forwarded, or passed on to, the next matching route, if any. Ultimately,
//! if there are no non-forwarding routes, forwarded requests are handled by the
//! 404 catcher. Similar to `Failure`s, users can catch `Forward`s by requesting
//! a type of `Option<S>`. If an `Outcome` is a `Forward`, the `Option` will be
//! `None`.
