class WithFilter(p: A => Boolean)

We need a whole WithFilter class to honor the "doesn't create a new collection" contract even though it seems unlikely to matter much in a collection with max size 1.

final def collect[B](pf: PartialFunction[Nothing, B]): Option[B]

Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying pf to this scala.Option's contained value, if this option is nonempty and pf is defined for that value.

Returns a scala.Some containing the result of applying pf to this scala.Option's contained value, if this option is nonempty and pf is defined for that value. Returns None otherwise.

Value parameters

the partial function.

Attributes

Returns

the result of applying pf to this scala.Option's value (if possible), or None.

Example 

// Returns Some(HTTP) because the partial function covers the case.
Some("http") collect {case "http" => "HTTP"}
// Returns None because the partial function doesn't cover the case.
Some("ftp") collect {case "http" => "HTTP"}
// Returns None because the option is empty. There is no value to pass to the partial function.
None collect {case value => value}

Some("something") contains "anything"
// Returns false when method called on None.

def stepper[S <: Stepper[_]](implicit shape: StepperShape[Nothing, S]): S

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.

The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.

The implicit scala.collection.StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.

Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to S with EfficientSplit, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential streams.
