how can I return a raw value as the left value when inside an either block?

E.g.

fun test() = either<String, SomeObject> {
    val someString = ""
    // how can I return 'someString' as the left value of this either?
}

I use someString.left().bind() , not sure if there is a better way.

You can also use suspend fun ensure(value: Boolean, orLeft: () -> E) in EitherEffect
