What is the canonical way to deal with an either where you want to throw a wrapped version of the exception (which in my case means Spring's exception handler will convert it to a response) or use the actual return value. I found fold with ifLeft and ifRight, but also getOrElse

getOrElse{ throw it }

[than_]

That's gonna allow you to use the right type, without needing to unpack/cast it further.

Quiver has Either.orThrow() for this use-case: https://cashapp.github.io/quiver/-quiver%20-library/app.cash.quiver.extensions/or-throw.html
