I want to write a function that either returns an object that has
already been AddRefed or an nsresult error. 
Result<already_AddRefed<...>, nsresult> doesn't seem to work. 
Result<RefPtr<...>, nsresult> would presumably work, but might
wastefully touch the object's refcount.  Is there a better way?
