Folks,

Over the year that Lift has had Can[T] as a replacement for Scala's
Option[T], the name "Can" has required a lot of explaining.

As we make the final push into freezing Lift's APIs, do we want to change
the name of Can to something else or should we leave it as Can.
Alternatives are:

   - Cup
   - Box

Both of which can be Full/Empty.

Thanks,

David

PS -- The Scala collections classes are getting a redo for 2.8.  I've been
gently pestering Martin to expand Option to have a Failure case.  If this
happens (it's not really likely for a couple of reasons), Can will be
orphaned.
