["Alexander Rojas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Alexander Rojas commented on MESOS-2757:
----------------------------------------

Can you guys explain the rationale behind this? I feel adding this operator gives the sense that the underlying type is a pointer while it is actually not.

Personally I think it settles a bad precedent on how to use operators overload.

> Let's add operator overloads to Option<T> to allow access to the underlying T using the `->` operator.
