- with '&&' conditions, often better to check for non-null autoPtr
first (it is cheap)
- check as bool instead of valid() method for cleaner code, especially
when the wrapped item itself has a valid/empty or good.
Also when handling multiple checks.
Now
if (ptr && ptr->valid())
if (ptr1 || ptr2)
instead
if (ptr.valid() && ptr->valid())
if (ptr1.valid() || ptr2.valid())
- Favour use of argList methods that are more similar to dictionary
method names with the aim of reducing the cognitive load.
* Silently deprecate two-parameter get() method in favour of the
more familiar getOrDefault.
* Silently deprecate opt() method in favour of get()
These may be verbosely deprecated in future versions.
