 a special annotation that `io::Result` has. Rust is trying to tell you that
 you haven’t handled a possible error. The right way to suppress the error is
 to actually write error handling. Luckily, if we want to crash if there’s

 error somehow, we’d do something else, but we’ll save that for a future
 project.
