IMHO, without language support looks really bad - `map` really sticks

What Rust is doing:

```
let foo: Option<i32> = bar();

let new_stuff = match foo {
    Some(x) => x,
    None => 0
}
```

You can do the same in Scala, it has built-in pattern matching. Although 
I think the map approach is preferred, but I'm not a Scala expert.
