/**
* Contains various utility classes translated from the Scala language.
* The following three types are all what is known as container types.
* They represent various use cases, such as containing one or zero value ({@link
* javascalautils.Option}), one of two values ({@link javascalautils.Either}) and value or exception
* ({@link javascalautils.Try}) The aim with these utility classes is to provide neat and concise
* programming patterns.
*
*
* - {@link javascalautils.Option}/{@link javascalautils.Some}/{@link javascalautils.None}
*
- {@link javascalautils.Try}/{@link javascalautils.Success}/{@link javascalautils.Failure}
*
- {@link javascalautils.Either}/{@link javascalautils.Left}/{@link javascalautils.Right}
*
*
* It is possible to make transitions between the container types.
* This image below aims to illustrate the transitions that can be made and where they lead.
*
