/**
* An immutable object that may contain a non-null reference to another object. Each
* instance of this type either contains a non-null reference, or contains nothing (in
* which case we say that the reference is "absent"); it is never said to "contain {@code
* null}".
*
* A non-null {@code Optional} reference can be used as a replacement for a nullable
* {@code T} reference. It allows you to represent "a {@code T} that must be present" and
* a "a {@code T} that might be absent" as two distinct types in your program, which can
* aid clarity.
*
* Some uses of this class include
*
*
* - As a method return type, as an alternative to returning {@code null} to indicate
* that no value was available
*
- To distinguish between "unknown" (for example, not present in a map) and "known to
* have no value" (present in the map, with value {@code Optional.absent()})
*
- To wrap nullable references for storage in a collection that does not support
* {@code null} (though there are
*
* several other approaches to this that should be considered first)
*
*
* A common alternative to using this class is to find or create a suitable
* null object for the
* type in question.
*
*
This class is not intended as a direct analogue of any existing "option" or "maybe"
* construct from other programming environments, though it may bear some similarities.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on
* using {@code Optional}.
*
* @param the type of instance that can be contained. {@code Optional} is naturally
* covariant on this type, so it is safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code
* Optional} for any supertype {@code S} of {@code T}.

*
* Note about generics: The signature {@code public T or(T defaultValue)} is overly
* restrictive. However, the ideal signature, {@code public S or(S)}, is not legal
* Java. As a result, some sensible operations involving subtypes are compile errors:
* {@code
*
* Optional optionalInt = getSomeOptionalInt();
* Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // error
*
* FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
* Optional first = numbers.first();
* Number value = first.or(0.5); // error}
*
*
As a workaround, it is always safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code
* Optional}. Casting either of the above example {@code Optional} instances to {@code
* Optional} (where {@code Number} is the desired output type) solves the problem:
* {@code
*
* Optional optionalInt = (Optional) getSomeOptionalInt();
* Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // fine
*
* FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
* Optional first = (Optional) numbers.first();
