Can you give some examples as to how this will have such a huge impact? Now
that we have the ?? operator it seems that this is fairly easy to replace:
value < 5 // where value is of type Int?
With:
(value ?? 0) < 5
The latter is completely clear what the behaviour of nil is.
Also, you can still re-add the operators where you need them, ideally with as
limited a type as possible so you can make sure that it's behaviour is well
defined._______________________________________________
