Dear all,

I noticed in https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip/pull/372 
<https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip/pull/372> that Hannes makes a good 
point about globally opening the Result module, which we used to do for 
compatibility for compilers pre-4.03.0.  

Nowadays, in the forthcoming OCaml 4.08 release, there will be a more extensive 
Result module with more functions available, so we should start removing use of 
the older compatibility shim just in case the shadowed functions cause issues.

So if you spot use of the `result` package and a global Result module in any 
other Mirage libraries, feel free to submit PRs along the lines of the one 
above to clean them up and prepare us nicely for 4.08.0.

Anil
