Hello, I am very much in favor of such a library. I've written this same library and have found it useful in several applications I've written.
I have one suggestion though. I suggest calling the class maybe instead of optional. There are two reasons for this. 1. This idiom is widely used in other languages (haskell comes to mind) calling it maybe. 2. Maybe well describes the idea that this particular variable might have a value. As opposed to optional arguments to a function. It is also shorter and more to the point IMO. Sincerely, David J. Sankel -------------------------- David J.
