 * // Basic usage with API call
 * const result = await safeAsync(() => fetchUserData(userId));
 * if (result.success) {
 *   console.log('User data:', result.data);
 * } else {
 *   console.error('Failed to fetch user:', result.error.message);

 * // With async function that might throw
 * const fileResult = await safeAsync(() => fs.readFile('config.json', 'utf8'));
 * if (fileResult.success) {
 *   const config = JSON.parse(fileResult.data);
 * } else {
 *   console.error('File read failed:', fileResult.error);
