/** Represents optional values. Instances of `Option`
* are either an instance of $some or the object $none.
*
* The most idiomatic way to use an $option instance is to treat it
* as a collection or monad and use `map`,`flatMap`, `filter`, or
* `foreach`:
*
* {{{
* val name: Option[String] = request getParameter "name"
* val upper = name map { _.trim } filter { _.length != 0 } map { _.toUpperCase }
* println(upper getOrElse "")
* }}}
*
* Note that this is equivalent to {{{
* val upper = for {
* name <- request getParameter "name"
* trimmed <- Some(name.trim)
* upper <- Some(trimmed.toUpperCase) if trimmed.length != 0
* } yield upper
* println(upper getOrElse "")
* }}}
*
* Because of how for comprehension works, if $none is returned
* from `request.getParameter`, the entire expression results in
* $none
*
* This allows for sophisticated chaining of $option values without
* having to check for the existence of a value.
*
* A less-idiomatic way to use $option values is via pattern matching: {{{
* val nameMaybe = request getParameter "name"
* nameMaybe match {
* case Some(name) =>
* println(name.trim.toUppercase)
* case None =>
* println("No name value")
* }
* }}}
*
* @note Many of the methods in here are duplicative with those
* in the Traversable hierarchy, but they are duplicated for a reason:
* the implicit conversion tends to leave one with an Iterable in
* situations where one could have retained an Option.
