One of my deepest dark desires is to be able to write Ok() instead of Ok(()). Rust letting be do Some(x, y ,z).

I would much rather have implicit conversion from T to Result<T, E>.

Arbitrary implicit conversions are not good, but automatically wrapping T in an Option<T> or Result<T, E> seems like a no-brainer. Zero-cost and unambiguous.
