Well, all functions have to return a single type, though that type may be a composite type, like a tuple.
Less pedantically, `?` lets you (well, will let you) unwrap values and convert their error cases between each other. So once the next round of stabilization happens, if you have a function that returns Results, you can mix ? on Options and Results in the body, and vice versa. And it can be extended for other types too. Basically, it's an early return "protocol" if you will.
