Oh that's exciting! I knew about the allocator work, but I hadn't heard about error reporting for failed allocations, or that it was about to be stabilized.

To be specific, I’m talking about try_ variants of functions that allocate and return Result.

I’m not sure when those are becoming stable, but Rust for Linux has been driving a bunch of this work, in my understanding, so that’s helped a lot.
