"or" is really nice and terse. I think we should add that to std.
safeDeref isn't the best choice of name.

What's your suggestion?
That we add "or" to std and find a name for safeDeref that doesn't use
the word "safe" in a confusing manner. -- Andrei
C# calls the ?? operator the "null-coalescing" operator. I have
absolutely no idea why, but that does give precedence for calling it
"coalesce".
In CoffeeScript it's called The Existential Operator. It's also known as
The Elvis Operator.
