There's no universal taxonomy of "this error is retryable, this one non-recoverable"; it's context dependent. As a boring example, I might write something that detects when a resource gets hosted, e.g. goes from 404 -&gt

No: the language defined that e.g. a NonZeroU8 can't contain 0, and the only way it could is via illegal means. You don't need a formal proof to describe that. To try to characterise what any compiler, hypothetical or not, does if

I don't know that _efficient_ is the best word. If you use goto to force a particular control flow rather than a more constrained form of control flow (e.g. if), you make it harder for the optimiser to work; it can only make "as-i

Open a scope when you check resource acquisition passed, rather than the opposite (jump to the end of the function if it failed). It can get quite hilly, which doesn't look great. It does have the advantage that each resource is explic
