Oops. I was looking at it wrong.
Re-read the end of OP's requirements.
I made an edit.
There's not anything stopping it from supporting Option<&str> though. This would be the implementation
It's also possible to just make it generic over Option types
Yes, but then the concrete type of
None
literals becomes unknown, which is what I was trying to point out.I had commented something similar to stating it was possible to pass the inference problem to the struct if the goal was to support more types, but I removed it because I didn't think my example was easy to understand when reading it later. I made a better example though
