/// A type that can represent either a wrapped value or `nil`, the absence of a
/// value.
///
/// You use the `Optional` type whenever you use optional values, even if you
/// never type the word `Optional`. Swift's type system usually shows the
/// wrapped type's name with a trailing question mark (`?`) instead of showing
/// the full type name. For example, if a variable has the type `Int?`, that's
/// just another way of writing `Optional<Int>`. The shortened form is
/// preferred for ease of reading and writing code.
///
/// The types of `shortForm` and `longForm` in the following code sample are
/// the same:
///
///     let shortForm: Int? = Int("42")
///     let longForm: Optional<Int> = Int("42")
///
/// The `Optional` type is an enumeration with two cases. `Optional.none` is
/// equivalent to the `nil` literal. `Optional.some(Wrapped)` stores a wrapped
/// value. For example:
///
///     let number: Int? = Optional.some(42)
///     let noNumber: Int? = Optional.none
///     print(noNumber == nil)
///     // Prints "true"
///
/// You must unwrap the value of an `Optional` instance before you can use it
/// in many contexts. Because Swift provides several ways to safely unwrap
/// optional values, you can choose the one that helps you write clear,
/// concise code.
///
/// The following examples use this dictionary of image names and file paths:
///
///     let imagePaths = ["star": "/glyphs/star.png",
///                       "portrait": "/images/content/portrait.jpg",
///                       "spacer": "/images/shared/spacer.gif"]
///
/// Getting a dictionary's value using a key returns an optional value, so
/// `imagePaths["star"]` has type `Optional<String>` or, written in the
/// preferred manner, `String?`.
///
/// Optional Binding
/// ----------------
///
/// To conditionally bind the wrapped value of an `Optional` instance to a new
/// variable, use one of the optional binding control structures, including
/// `if let`, `guard let`, and `switch`.
///
///     if let starPath = imagePaths["star"] {
///         print("The star image is at '\(starPath)'")
///     } else {
///         print("Couldn't find the star image")
///     }
///     // Prints "The star image is at '/glyphs/star.png'"
///
/// Optional Chaining
/// -----------------
///
/// To safely access the properties and methods of a wrapped instance, use the
/// postfix optional chaining operator (`?`). The following example uses
/// optional chaining to access the `hasSuffix(_:)` method on a `String?`
/// instance.
///
///     if let isPNG = imagePaths["star"]?.hasSuffix(".png") {
///         print("The star image is in PNG format")
///     }
///     // Prints "The star image is in PNG format"
///
/// Using the Nil-Coalescing Operator
/// ---------------------------------
///
/// Use the nil-coalescing operator (`??`) to supply a default value in case
/// the `Optional` instance is `nil`. Here a default path is supplied for an
/// image that is missing from `imagePaths`.
///
///     let defaultImagePath = "/images/default.png"
///     let heartPath = imagePaths["heart"] ?? defaultImagePath
///     print(heartPath)
///     // Prints "/images/default.png"
///
/// The `??` operator also works with another `Optional` instance on the
/// right-hand side. As a result, you can chain multiple `??` operators
/// together.
///
///     let shapePath = imagePaths["cir"] ?? imagePaths["squ"] ?? defaultImagePath
///     print(shapePath)
///     // Prints "/images/default.png"
///
/// Unconditional Unwrapping
/// ------------------------
///
/// When you're certain that an instance of `Optional` contains a value, you
/// can unconditionally unwrap the value by using the forced
/// unwrap operator (postfix `!`). For example, the result of the failable `Int`
/// initializer is unconditionally unwrapped in the example below.
///
///     let number = Int("42")!
///     print(number)
///     // Prints "42"
///
/// You can also perform unconditional optional chaining by using the postfix
/// `!` operator.
///
///     let isPNG = imagePaths["star"]!.hasSuffix(".png")
///     print(isPNG)
///     // Prints "true"
///
/// Unconditionally unwrapping a `nil` instance with `!` triggers a runtime
/// error.
