----------------------------------------
Hi All,
Thanks a lot for this issue. I really like using the new features of java8.
I don't think it is that urgent to create setters for Optional. Optionals are
more used for getting values and not for setting. However, having setters for
both seems reasonable.
I don't really like the two different flags for having separate getters for
Optionals and returning Optionals by the original getters. I think, one flag
for having Optionals returned by the original getters or keeping the actual
behaviour is enough and less confusing. I don't think we really need both
getters in the same time. This way, the default behaviour can also be switched
easier in later major releases.
What do you think?
