Fix URL target, it's in the module not the type.

//! In some cases, [`Result<T, E>`] will gain the same size, alignment, and ABI
//! guarantees as [`Option<T>`] has. One of either the `T` or `E` type must be a
//! type that qualifies for `Option` guarantees, and the *other* type must meet
//! all of the following conditions:
//! * Is a zero-sized type with alignment 1 (a "1-ZST").
//! * Has no fields.
//! * Does not have the `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute.
//!
//! For example, `Result<NonZeroI32, ()>` or `Result<(), NonZeroI32>` would both
//! have the same guarantees as `Option<NonZeroI32>`. The only difference is the
//! implied semantics: `Result<NonZeroI32, ()>` is "a non-zero success value"
//! while `Result<(), NonZeroI32>` is "a non-zero error value".

//! In addition to working with pattern matching, [`Result`] provides a
