But obviously “filterNonesAfterMappingAndMap” is not a name we’re going to end
up with. You can argue that “filterMap” is not completely faithful to the
internal implementation, but I think it’s clearly better than “flatMap” in this
case, which is even more incorrect. I’m not opposed to finding a better name
than “filterMap”, but so far I haven’t seen one.
