Add alias of 'result'

[cmeeren]

I use both FSharpPlus and FsToolkit.ErrorHandling in all my projects. The latter defines a result builder, which conflicts with the result operator from FSharpPlus. AFAIK there are other standard names for the result operator (not entirely sure – pure? retn?). I suggest FSharpPlus adds one or more of these standard aliases for result.

You could add your own operator in your own code by noting that the result operator is simply:

FSharpPlus/src/FSharpPlus/Operators.fs

Lines 104 to 105 in 3fdc133

	/// Lifts a value into a Functor. Same as return in Computation Expressions.
	let inline result (x: 'T) : '``Functor<'T>`` = Return.Invoke x

Yep, I have, I just figured that it'd be nice to have in FSharpPlus too, since both FSharpPlus and FsToolkit.ErrorHandling are very useful libraries that work nicely together.

Just to add more information, pure is unfortunately a reserved word in F#, retn is an abbreviation and abbreviations are not encouraged in the F# guidelines.

I think we could add a unary operator but not sure which.

I think we could add a unary operator but not sure which.

But that doesn't work well with piping, right? E.g. instead of

a |> b |> c |> result

you would have to write

<op>(a |> b |> c)

right?

In any case, I get the point about abbreviations, though I think it can work if the abbreviation is clear and if it is for a good reason (e.g. to avoid a reserved keyword).

I would rather say:

you would have to write:

a |> b |> c |> (op)

Any suggestions for either operator or abbreviation?
