Jira (HI-628) convert_to: Sensitive only unless undef

[Henrik Lindberg (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on HI-628   Re: convert_to: Sensitive only unless undef Kind of difficult to quick fix since a Sensitive.new should always return a Sensitive instance (or error). Also, it makes sense that an undef value could be sensitive (i.e you don't want to leak the information that a value is explicitly undef). It would be more coherent if it was possible to specify convert_to: Optional[Sensitive] (which IIRC isn't supported). It could be implemented such that Optional's new function checks if the value it is converting is undef, and then returning undef, otherwise delegating the call to new for the type it decorates. Then, no internal protocols would be broken and it is totally clear what is wanted.
