Rust-like Optional-type for PHP 7

### Some - a valid Value

[](#some---a-valid-value)

```
$some = some(42);
$this->assertTrue($some->isSome());
$this->assertEquals(42, $some->unwrap());
```

### Some with argument unpacking

[](#some-with-argument-unpacking)

```
$some = some(42);
$this->assertTrue($some->isSome($value));
$this->assertFalse($some->isNone());
$this->assertEquals(42, $value);
```

### None - an invalid value

[](#none---an-invalid-value)

```
$none = none();
$this->assertTrue($none->isNone());
$this->assertFalse($none->isSome());
```

### None with argument unpacking

[](#none-with-argument-unpacking)

```
$none = none();
$this->assertTrue($none->isNone());
$this->assertFalse($none->isSome($value));
$this->assertNull($value);
```

### Maybe - decides for you if your value is a `Some` or a `None`

[](#maybe---decides-for-you-if-your-value-is-a-some-or-a-none)

```
$maybe = maybe(null);
$this->assertTrue($maybe->isNone());
$maybe = maybe(42);
$this->assertTrue($maybe->isSome());
$this->assertEquals(42, $maybe->unwrap());
```

### Ensure that a condition is fulfilled

[](#ensure-that-a-condition-is-fulfilled)

```
$result = some(0)->ensure(function($value) {
    return $value > 0;
});
$this->assertTrue($result->isNone());
```
