I also did a double-take when I updated our tool and saw this. I
considered std::move(*x), and I agree that it's less confusing, but I
wonder if something more explicit could be done with ErrorOr to move
out its value? A take() method, for example (I can't quite see clearly
how it would play with move semantics for non-movable T's, exercise
for the reader.)
