Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------
I didn't follow the example get().get(). I think the first get() would return
the single element or null, and the 2nd get would not compile (since FS doesn't
have a "get" method.
The small value in Optional (seems "documentational", only, to me) is
outweighed (IMHO) by it's verbosity and inefficiency (creating an extra Java
object wrapping things). But I certainly could be missing something...
The single(true), single(false) forms communicate less to the reader than
singleOrNull and single. Other forms which might communicate well include
nullOk().single(). But that seems somewhat stilted. It might be useful if
there are other methods where sometimes null is OK and other times you want to
throw an exception.
