/**
* 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.
*
*
Comparison to {@code java.util.Optional} (JDK 8 and higher): A new {@code Optional}
* class was added for Java 8. The two classes are extremely similar, but incompatible (they cannot
* share a common supertype). All known differences are listed either here or with the
* relevant methods below.
*
*
* - This class is serializable; {@code java.util.Optional} is not.
*
- {@code java.util.Optional} has the additional methods {@code ifPresent}, {@code filter},
* {@code flatMap}, and {@code orElseThrow}.
*
- {@code java.util} offers the primitive-specialized versions {@code OptionalInt}, {@code
* OptionalLong} and {@code OptionalDouble}, the use of which is recommended; Guava does not
* have these.
*
*
* There are no plans to deprecate this class in the foreseeable future. However, we do
* gently recommend that you prefer the new, standard Java class whenever possible.
*
*
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();
* Number value = first.or(0.5); // fine}
*
* Comparison to {@code java.util.Optional}: this method is similar to Java 8's
* {@code Optional.orElse}, but will not accept {@code null} as a {@code defaultValue}
* ({@link #orNull} must be used instead). As a result, the value returned by this method is
* guaranteed non-null, which is not the case for the {@code java.util} equivalent.
