Some and null

[jltrem]

Hi Paul -- I'm finally looking at some of the Big Refactor that you've been doing. Thanks for your dedication to the project!

I'm concerned/confused about the change to Option allowing null to creep in as a Some value. What are your thoughts about this? If you've written elsewhere about it, please just point me to it. (I've looked around but did not find an answer)

Discussed here: #1291

Feel free to follow up here or there. The changes should have minimal impact for those with nullable-references enabled.

If you don't have nullable-references enabled, then you may want to hold off on migrating to v5. Enabling nullable-references would be a first step for your project.

I plan on supporting v4 for as long as humanly possible (realistically for as long as the project's dependencies are supported). And, because there are very few dependencies, v4 will likely be supported for a looong time.

Support means: fixes to major bugs (those without workarounds) and security patches.
