used the `return` keyword so the error value gets propagated to the calling
code.

There is a difference between what the `match` expression from Listing 9-6 and
the `?` operator do: error values that have the `?` operator called on them go
through the `from` function, defined in the `From` trait in the standard
library, which is used to convert errors from one type into another. When the
`?` operator calls the `from` function, the error type received is converted
into the error type defined in the return type of the current function. This is
useful when a function returns one error type to represent all the ways a
function might fail, even if parts might fail for many different reasons. As
long as each error type implements the `from` function to define how to convert
itself to the returned error type, the `?` operator takes care of the
