Please review this changeset that introduces a new no-arg method
orElseThrow() to Optional, as a preferred alternative to the get() method.
I am willing to accept this addition as it has an obvious parallel to
the existing supplier method.
My position on removing get() has not changed however, and as such I
am displeased with the addition of the "preferred alternative" text.
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your comments on this issue.
I know that you like get() (or at least you're OK with it). But even three years
after the release of Java 8, I still see bad code written with get(), so I don't
think this problem is going to go away.
Also, I should clarify that it was never the intent to remove get(), just to
deprecate it not-for-removal. However, I realize that even deprecation has a
cost, which is why I'm not pursuing it as part of this proposal.
