### Type Members

1. #### class WithFilter extends AnyRef

   We need a whole WithFilter class to honor the "doesn't create a new collection" contract even though it seems unlikely to matter much in a collection with max size 1.

6. #### final def collect[B](pf: PartialFunction[Nothing, B]): Option[B]

   Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying `pf` to this scala.Option's contained value, if this option is nonempty and `pf` is defined for that value.

   Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying `pf` to this scala.Option's contained value, if this option is nonempty and `pf` is defined for that value. Returns `None` otherwise.

   pf

     the partial function.

   returns

     the result of applying `pf` to this scala.Option's value (if possible), or `None`.

14. #### final def flatMap[B](f: (Nothing) ⇒ Option[B]): Option[B]

    Returns the result of applying `f` to this scala.Option's value if this scala.Option is nonempty.

    Returns the result of applying `f` to this scala.Option's value if this scala.Option is nonempty. Returns `None` if this scala.Option is empty. Slightly different from `map` in that `f` is expected to return an scala.Option (which could be `None`).
