These traits augment Rust's built-in traits to handle failure scenarios,
which will allow us to encapsulate lowering logic into discrete,
self-parsing units that enforce e.g. schemas (the example alludes to my
intentions).
See the previous commit. There is no sense in some common "IR" namespace,
since those IRs should live close to whatever system whose data they
represent.
In the case of these, they are general IRs that can apply to many different
parts of the system. If that proves to be a false statement, they'll be
moved.

There isn't a whole lot here, but there is additional work needed in various
places to support upcoming changes and so I want to get this commited to
ease the cognitive burden of what I have thusfar. And to stop stashing. We
have a feature flag for a reason.

This is pretty significant, in that it's been a long-standing question for
me how I'd like to join together `Result` iterators without having
unnecessarily complex APIs, and also allow for error recovery. This solves
both of those problems.
It should be noted, however, that this does not yet explicitly implement
error recovery, beyond being able to observe the failure as the result of
the provided callback function. Proper recovery will be implemented once
there's a use-case.
