New API

Given that the type Block is about to be appropriated for immutable arrays, I’m contemplating a new API for this library. For now the best I can come up with is:

Block.validate // old
Block.value    // old

Box.validate   // new
Box.value      // new

I’m leaving this issue open here if anyone has suggestions.

In case you’re wondering, it can’t just be validate, it’s part of the trickery that allows one to only specify one generic parameter when in fact two are needed (i.e. validate<Text> instead of validate<Text, TextError> or similar) which I’m sure everyone agrees is too convenient to let go.

Incidentally, since this lib essentially generates results, it’s very likely to be used with yours, so much so that I couldn’t help myself from adding it to the live demo 🤷‍♂️

The only thing I’d say is let’s try not to shadow/overlap functions in FsToolkit.ErrorHandling.Validation.

Thanks for pointing this out Jimmy, I’ll keep your API in mind to avoid conflicts, also I have no intention of going monadic style with this lib so even if they have to coexist with the same module name (which is not at all a given at this point), they’re clearly heading in different directions.
