"or" seems reasonable for this method.
"If a value is present, returns an {@code Optional} describing the
value, otherwise returns an {@code Optional} produced by the supplying
function."
I'd prefer to see "this" mentioned:
"If a value is not present, invoke the specified supplier to provide
the result, otherwise return {@code this}"
While I understand the original form gave some spec wiggle room, it
also made the method far more mysterious.
