nothing::[Probably] is a better [Option].

```

pub enum Probably {

    Nothing,

    Something(T),

}

```

## Why?

The point is that you can use [Probably] as the return type of your main function:

```

use nothing::{Probably, Nothing};

fn main() -> Probably<()> {

    Nothing

}

```

Exit code is `0` if it is [Something], `1` if [Nothing]. 

You can even use the `?` operator the way you would with [Option] and [Result]. See [./examples/main.rs](https://github.com/btwiuse/nothing/blob/master/examples/main.rs)
