--- Comment #13 from Chris Paulson-Ellis <[email protected]> --- Perhaps it would be helpful to reiterate one of my comments from my original forum thread linked in comment 8... <snip> For those confused as to why you'd want to wrap a Nullable around something that already has nullable semantics, it's mostly about making APIs that explicitly declare their optional return values. See: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/java8-optional-2175753.html </snip> If Phobos needs a new Maybe/Optional template - perhaps specialised for class types - then so be it, but at the moment Nullable is it. --
