Optional values

A search that may find nothing gives an optional value: resolve it with or, or test it with if, and the compiler narrows it to present.

Implementation
Implemented published in npm 0.1.0
Kind
Mynt language, not a SuiteScript method
A mynt syntax

After or return the local is never absent; inside if match neither is match. Reading a field of an optional without either is an error.

SuiteScript methods this feature lowers to or works through. They are counted on their own pages, never through the feature.
