(** Module implementing basic combinators for OCaml option type.
   It tries follow closely the style of OCaml standard library.

   Actually, some operations have the same name as [List] ones:
   they actually are similar considering ['a option] as a type
   of lists with at most one element. *)

exception IsNone

(** [has_some x] is [true] if [x] is of the form [Some y] and [false]
    otherwise.  *)
val has_some : 'a option -> bool

(** Negation of [has_some] *)
val is_empty : 'a option -> bool

(** [equal f x y] lifts the equality predicate [f] to
    option types. That is, if both [x] and [y] are [None] then
    it returns [true], if they are both [Some _] then
    [f] is called. Otherwise it returns [false]. *)
val equal : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a option -> 'a option -> bool

(** Same as [equal], but with comparison. *)
val compare : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a option -> 'a option -> int

(** Lift a hash to option types. *)
val hash : ('a -> int) -> 'a option -> int

(** [get x] returns [y] where [x] is [Some y].
    @raise IsNone if [x] equals [None]. *)

(** [bind x f] is [f y] if [x] is [Some y] and [None] otherwise *)

(** [init b x] returns [Some x] if [b] is [true] and [None] otherwise. *)

(** [flatten x] is [Some y] if [x] is [Some (Some y)] and [None] otherwise. *)
val flatten : 'a option option -> 'a option

(** [append x y] is the first element of the concatenation of [x] and
    [y] seen as lists.  In other words, [append (Some a) y] is [Some
    a], [append None (Some b)] is [Some b], and [append None None] is
    [None]. *)
