#[must_use] can be given a string argument which is shown whilst warning for things.

We should add a string argument to most of the user-exposed ones.

I added these for everything but the operators, mostly because I'm not sure what to write there or if we need anything there.

I feel like this wording could be clearer (imagine a brand new user indignantly thinking, "You're the compiler; you should know whether it's a compilation error or not"), but I'm not sure what exact phrasing to suggest instead; "this Result may be an Err variant" may be too jargony.

We should add a string argument to most of the user-exposed ones.
