`Result` became `core::result::Result` after patch #3, so you will need
to refer to `crate::error::Result` here. Alternatively you can change
patch #3 to use the full path i.e. `core::result::Result`.

In my env, looks like the compiler doesn't know which `Error` it
is after removing use of `crate::error::Result` in patch #3, you
probably need to deal with this as well.
