/**
 * An immutable object that may contain a non-null reference to another object. Each instance of
 * this type either contains a non-null reference, or contains nothing (in which case we say that
 * the reference is "absent"); it is never said to "contain {@code null}".
 *
 * <p>A non-null {@code Optional<T>} reference can be used as a replacement for a nullable {@code T}
 * reference. It allows you to represent "a {@code T} that must be present" and a "a {@code T} that
 * might be absent" as two distinct types in your program, which can aid clarity.
 *
 * <p>Some uses of this class include
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>As a method return type, as an alternative to returning {@code null} to indicate that no
 *       value was available
 *   <li>To distinguish between "unknown" (for example, not present in a map) and "known to have no
 *       value" (present in the map, with value {@code Optional.absent()})
 *   <li>To wrap nullable references for storage in a collection that does not support {@code null}
 *       (though there are <a
 *       href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/LivingWithNullHostileCollections">several other
 *       approaches to this</a> that should be considered first)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>A common alternative to using this class is to find or create a suitable <a
 * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Object_pattern">null object</a> for the type in question.
 *
 * <p>This class is not intended as a direct analogue of any existing "option" or "maybe" construct
 * from other programming environments, though it may bear some similarities.
 *
 * <p><b>Comparison to {@code java.util.Optional} (JDK 8 and higher):</b> A new {@code Optional}
 * class was added for Java 8. The two classes are extremely similar, but incompatible (they cannot
 * share a common supertype). <i>All</i> known differences are listed either here or with the
 * relevant methods below.
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>This class is serializable; {@code java.util.Optional} is not.
 *   <li>{@code java.util.Optional} has the additional methods {@code ifPresent}, {@code filter},
 *       {@code flatMap}, and {@code orElseThrow}.
 *   <li>{@code java.util} offers the primitive-specialized versions {@code OptionalInt}, {@code
 *       OptionalLong} and {@code OptionalDouble}, the use of which is recommended; Guava does not
 *       have these.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><b>There are no plans to deprecate this class in the foreseeable future.</b> However, we do
 * gently recommend that you prefer the new, standard Java class whenever possible.
 *
 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a
 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/UsingAndAvoidingNullExplained#optional">using {@code
 * Optional}</a>.
 *
 * @param <T> the type of instance that can be contained. {@code Optional} is naturally covariant on
 *     this type, so it is safe to cast an {@code Optional<T>} to {@code Optional<S>} for any
 *     supertype {@code S} of {@code T}.

   * Optional<T>}. Casting either of the above example {@code Optional} instances to {@code
