I already thought that Nullable was clunky (!nullable.isNull: is it false 
that the thing has no value? -- I just want to know if it has a value). 
With that alias, I'm kind of horrified.

Why does this even exist? Why is it Nullable instead of Optional or Maybe? 
The thing about null is that it segfaults when you use it, which is not 
the key thing about an optional value. Why does it have this automatic bug 
pit?
