Operations on the ubiquitous `Option` type.

Type `Option` represents an optional value.

Every `Option<T>` value can either be `Some(T)` or `None`. Where in other
languages you might use a nullable type, in Rust you would use an option
type.

Options are most commonly used with pattern matching to query the presence
of a value and take action, always accounting for the `None` case.

# Example

~~~
let msg = Some(~"howdy");

// Take a reference to the contained string
match msg {
    Some(ref m) => io::println(m),
    None => ()
}

// Remove the contained string, destroying the Option
let unwrapped_msg = match move msg {
    Some(move m) => m,
    None => ~"default message"
};
