'ok is a function's expected return type, and 'err is often an error message
string.
let ric_of_ticker = function
| "IBM" -> Ok "IBM.N"
| "MSFT" -> Ok "MSFT.OQ"
| "AA" -> Ok "AA.N"
| "CSCO" -> Ok "CSCO.OQ"
| _ as ticker -> Error (sprintf "can't find ric of %s" ticker)
The return type of ric_of_ticker could be string option, but (string, string)
Result.t gives more control over the error message.
