There are plenty of instances where it's not a hard error if you can't get a TypeSystem and the appropriate action is probably just to log and move on. I am conflicted because I like how Expected forces you to be more rigorous with error handling but I can't help but feel it is the wrong abstraction. Thoughts?


I think an `Optional` would be fine. We can always create an `Error` when necessary, with the trade-off of being a little less precision about the root cause, which honestly doesn't seem that informative anyway.
