If you mean that we'd return Optional<> results, this would become an entirely different API. I'd very much like us to get to a compromise that helps our users and doesn't force us to randomly fix RuntimeExceptions that slipped through overly optimistic parser code. So if you want to explore the Optionals idea further this would be great, but I doubt enough people have seen it.
