yeah ... i just copy-pasted other examples; sometimes when i encounter this

semantics of method were to change exception supplier _if_ it's absent, and 
do nothing if it's present.  logical extension of that is also to do nothing if 
it's null IMO.  if we were to "fail fast" we are applying a particular dogma 
that says a `Maybe` shouldn't be null, which might be helpful in some 
situations but it gets in the way in others.  if the `Maybe` being null is a 
problem the user will likely discover that, and it's not much helpful if we 
discover that slightly earlier.  more helpful i think to allow callers who 
might have a null Maybe.

The javadoc on `Maybe.getException` claimed it would return null for 
present items; I relied on this and then discovered the error so updated the 
code to bring it in line with the javadoc.

Can change back if you like but personally I think it's useful to be able 
to get `null` back as an exception, saves a little bit of work sometimes, as in 
this case:  because we set `exception` manually in the boxing case we'd need 
one more line than you suggest.

These assert calls are the wrong way round - first argument is `actual`, 
second argument is `expected` for testng.

I think we should fail-fast if you pass in null. The caller has asked to 
change the exception supplier, and we've ignored their request without telling 
them of the problem.

This kind of null check just leads to more `NullPointerException`s later in 
the code paths, or more null checks later (which coders/reviewers would not 
expect to have to do when using `Maybe` or `Optional`).

Minor: I'd follow the java convention (and the Brooklyn convention) for 
indents: 8 spaces. The 4 spaces looks too much like a new code block, rather 
than a continuation of the previous line.

Looks wrong - this will cast `coercedArgumentM` to `Maybe.absent`, but on 
the line below you do `coercedArgumentM.isPresent`. So presumably the call to 
`getException` will sometimes throw a `ClassCastException`?

Ah, I see you've changed the semantics of `getException` to return null if 
it wasn't an exception.

Why change it? I liked the way that asking for the exception when `present` 
was a programming error - there will never be an exception when present. It 
looks like you can easily avoid that by removing this line, and changing the if 
statement below to just `if (coercedArgumentM.isAbsent()) {`.

Strong preference to never have empty catch blocks. I'd do:

As per earlier comment, I'd leave it as throwing an exception if you try to

It looks like the two methods being suggested (for old semantics and 
improved) are identical - what should they be? Should it be pointing folk at 
`tryUnwrapJsonishList(String)` as well?

Naming convention in guava is that `checkXyz` methods will throw an 
exception if the check fails (e.g. 
https://google.github.io/guava/releases/19.0/api/docs/com/google/common/base/Preconditions.html).
 I'd prefer the name `validateValue(...)`.

Could do we rewording. This line introduces `C` - should it be `B`? There 
was no mention of C previously.

Is it not the other way round: "those with generics mean false, and those

Improve coercions esp with generics

previously when we coerced or resolved values even with config keys, we did 
not reliably obey generics.  now we do.  preserves previous behaviour except 
now can be a bit stricter when convering, e.g. `ConfigKey>` now is 
only allowed to contain integers (but strings will be converted; previously it 
could contain strings and wouldn't even attempt to convert them)

coercing from string to list can now handle objects

now have two methods for parsing a list as a string, depending whether it 
wants object or string

commit 8d081d01a3bb6e0e48ba64f13a6d4485d9d3cad8
Author: Alex Heneveld 
Date:   2018-08-31T00:13:37Z

no longer coerce things if generic parametrized types don't match

previously we would return e.g. a List not containing T if List was 
requested.
this was deprecated and we would warn, but now we are stricter.

Author: Alex Heneveld 
Date:   2018-08-31T09:28:57Z

respect generics better when coercing

previous commit used yaml parse even for things like List; now do 
string-list parse in that case.
means the json adapters have access to the type token, but that means 
running them earlier and ensuring we
do a re-coercion if needed.

commit 312131c8b4032d2c78831af825b96a05e36bce6b

preserve generics info when resolving config keys, more places

previously we converted to Class in places, losing generic info for 
resolution

commit e8fa71e03b5b42cedfa15ca4df18324cafe122cc
Author: Alex Heneveld 
Date:   2018-08-31T12:49:48Z

improve coercion of items with generics, esp config keys

previously config keys did not properly keep generic information for their 
contents;
now this information is preserved and the results coerced as per the types.
also enhances the ValueResolver to have clearer semantics when coercing 
generics in maps/iterables.
