> `?` isn't really that great - for all but toy cases you have to jump through hoops - especially if you are trying to handle different error types from separate in a unified way. To be clear, that isn't the fault of `?` but that Rust "requires" you to specify your error type. You could just specify `Box<Error>` and go about your day without boiler plate. What you mention and my workaround are two extremes of the solution space. There are Rust crates inbetween that help people handle errors the way they need with minimal boiler plate.
