@class Option
Type [Option] represents an optional value: every [Option] is either [Some] and contains a
value, or [None], and does not. Common uses of an [Option] may involve:
* Initial values
* Return values for functions that are not defined over their entire input range (partial functions)
* Return value for otherwise reporting simple errors, where None is returned on error
* Optional object fields
* Values that can be loaned or taken
* Optional function arguments
```lua
function divide(numerator: number, denominator: number): Option<number>
if denominator == 0 then
None()
else
return Some(numerator / denominator)
