    I still do not believe that this is a significant improvement, and may even increase confusion: Now you have two slightly different ways to do almost the same thing, in one case you need to take care of `null` and in the other case not. It is always nicer to keep the core user interfaces slim. I would prefer to not include this change, and remember that this should be fixed if we come to the point of a API-breaking release.
